Trade Review
...a fresh perspective on the prophetic oracles in the book of Jeremiah... * Expository Times, December 2009 *
The volume's interdisciplinary nature, which does not neglect possible theological implications, will benefit both students and scholars, especially those interested in the rhetorical study of the prophets and/or the use of postmodernist literary theory. * Religious Studies Review *
A helpful analogy...K.'s very close reading of Jeremiah 6 has much to commend it. * Journal for the Study of the Old Testament, June 2009 *
