Cover of The Life and Witness of Jeremiah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In a very readable book Helyer discusses Jeremiah the prophet by focusing on: 1) the profile of a prophet; 2) the celebrated ‘temple oracles’ of 609; 3) Jeremiah’s symbolic actions; 4) Jeremiah and the false prophets; 5) Jeremiah’s personal laments; and 6) Jeremiah’s vision for the future. The prophet’s hard message of judgment is laid out in all its complexities; nevertheless, a strong message of hope is discerned for the future, yet with the caution that Christians ought not ‘get on the bandwagon to advocate for a third temple.’ There is no temple or need for one in the New Jerusalem (Rev 21:22). Jeremiah’s message finds numerous parallels in the New Testament, Church History, preaching of New England Puritanism, and other sources. Though a small book, this is one eminently worthy of critical reflection.”
