The NIV Application Commentary (NIVAC) – Jeremiah/Lamentations

Forlagets omtale:
While few of us have any firsthand understanding of what it means to live in a theocracy, the central theme of Jeremiah and Lamentations remains clear and still holds true: God first, politics second. These prophetic writings still beckon us toward a spiritual integrity that can change the course of history.

The NIV Application Commentary series helps you with both sides of the interpretation task---original meaning and contemporary context. J. Andrew Dearman's Jeremiah--Lamentations reflects historically and exegetically on the relationship between religion and politics in ancient Judah. You'll see how the words of 'the weeping prophet' serve to realign us with God's priorities and a spiritual integrity that can affect the course of individuals and nations today

Jeremiah/Lamentations, which is part of the NIV Application Commentary Series, helps readers learn how the messages of Jeremiah and Lamentations can have the same powerful impact today that they did when they were first written..
