Jeremiah and God's Plans of Well-being

"With a lucid, creative, and thoroughly engaging style, Barbara Green brings the book and character of Jeremiah to life in a way that is scholarly, reader-friendly, and breathtaking in scope and depth. This well researched study is simply brilliant and by far one of Green's best works to date."—Carol J. Dempsey, professor of theology, University of Portland

"Barbara Green picks up previous conversations and through the narratological model shows us Jeremiah in new ways. As she reveals and revels in the literary units she exposes Jeremiah in his/its complexity. Green does best by showing that the theo-political complexities of any age make Jeremiah both relatable and fascinating."—Steed V. Davidson, associate professor of Old Testament, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary and Church Divinity School of the Pacific

"An ideal fit for a longstanding series, Barbara Green's responsible and creative study of Jeremiah pays close attention to the complexities of the prophetic character and the unfolding of his poetic vision, and will be welcomed by readers keen to further learn from this remarkable classic."—Keith Bodner, professor of religious studies, Crandall University

"With unmatched rhetorical skill and depth of analysis, Green extricates Jeremiah from the web of language and the film of appearances disclosing his theological and moral struggles, triumphs and failures. The unexpectedly abundant theological yield, both comforting and disturbing, harvested from this in-depth encounter with the prophet and his God, earmarks this study as exemplary."—Gina Hens-Piazza, professor of biblical studies, Jesuit School of Theology, Santa Clara University of the Graduate Theological Union
