The Prophet and the Sage

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“One of the greatest benefits of the last fifty years of exploration in intertextuality is the growing impulse to read the Bible in light of itself. The Prophet and the Sage continues this important scholarly exercise by calling us to read Habakkuk and Job alongside one another. Evaluating, critiquing, and building upon the methodological work of others, this volume lucidly argues that the theodicy tradition found in Job shapes the wrestling captured so profoundly in the book of Habakkuk.”

The Theology of Jeremiah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In a day when Old Testament books like Jeremiah are often merely mined for proof texts, or worse, completely ignored, Dr. Goldingay reminds us of the timeless theological message of the book of Jeremiah. Facilitated by years of Old Testament scholarship and study, Goldingay illuminates the historical setting of the prophet, wrestles with the literary complexity of the book, and savors its theological message. While readers may not agree with all his proposals, Goldingay succeeds in warmly and accessibly inviting Christians to reflect on the theological truths found in this important prophetic book.”
