Jeremiah & Lamentations [NIVAC] treats readers to the excellant compositional skills and exceptional scholarly acumen and judgment of J. Andrew Dearman. Dearman holds that the prophetic books, unlike many modern scholars, are in fact prophetic and reflect their own culture while pointing towards the fulfillment of the covenant in Jesus Christ. Covenant, and its renewal takes center stage in Jeremiah's writings and Dearman masterfully expounds the text and draws application in this direction.
