“I happened to be reading through the early chapters of Jeremiah, as I read Walter Brueggemann's insights into the experiences and messages of three prophets: Ezekiel and Isaiah, as well as Jeremiah.
It's a heavier read but thoroughly rewarding. I think i was able to carry on my reading of an Old Testament prophet in a much more understanding way.
The reason for opening up these things, Brueggemann claims, is because the pivotal year of 587 BC(E) for Israel is a metaphor for us today - a time of relinquishing and receiving. From this premise he opens up the elements of the messages of the three prophets. ”
