Jephthah’s Daughter, Sarah’s Son: The Death of Children in Late Antiquity (Christianity in Late Antiquity #8)
by Maria E. DoerflerLate antiquity was a perilous time for children, who were often the first victims of economic crisis, war, and disease. They had a one in three chance of dying before their first birthday, with as many as half dying before age ten. Christian writers accordingly sought to speak to the experience of bereavement and to provide cultural scripts for parents who had lost a child. These late ancient writers turned to characters like Eve and Sarah, Job and Jephthah as models for grieving and for confronting or submitting to the divine. Jephthah's Daughter, Sarah’s Son traces the stories these writers crafted and the ways in which they shaped the lived experience of familial bereavement in ancient Christianity. A compelling social history that conveys the emotional lives of people in the late ancient world, Jephthah's Daughter, Sarah's Son is a powerful portrait of mourning that extends beyond antiquity to the present day.
Jeremiah & Lamentations (The Preacher's Commentary)
by John GuestGeneral editor Lloyd J. Ogilvie brings together a team of skilled and exceptional communicators to blend sound scholarship with life-related illustrations.The design for the Preacher's Commentary gives the reader an overall outline of each book of the Bible. Following the introduction, which reveals the author's approach and salient background on the book, each chapter of the commentary provides the Scripture to be exposited. The New King James Bible has been chosen for the Preacher's Commentary because it combines with integrity the beauty of language, underlying Hebrew and Greek textual basis, and thought-flow of the 1611 King James Version, while replacing obsolete verb forms and other archaisms with their everyday contemporary counterparts for greater readability. Reverence for God is preserved in the capitalization of all pronouns referring to the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. Readers who are more comfortable with another translation can readily find the parallel passage by means of the chapter and verse reference at the end of each passage being exposited. The paragraphs of exposition combine fresh insights to the Scripture, application, rich illustrative material, and innovative ways of utilizing the vibrant truth for his or her own life and for the challenge of communicating it with vigor and vitality.

Jeremiah (Bible Daily Notes: Practical Application from God's Word)
by Jeff LucasAsk any Christian to name their favorite books in the Bible and you&’re unlikely to find the book of Jeremiah at the top of any list—or even on any list. Frankly, most of us tend to ignore this deeply sad book completely. Beginning as a young man, Jeremiah prophesied under five kings, and his prophecies were never listened to—or at least not obeyed. Yet Jeremiah has a lot to say to us today. As he tearfully tells us about what life without God looks like, his message of conviction, repentance, and faith has startling relevance to our modern world. Our Bible notes on Jeremiah focus not on the history but on the message the prophet brought to a nation that was light-years away from God and about to experience judgment. Thank you for going on this journey, as we consider the call and message of this young twentysomething who lived over twenty-six hundred years ago but who definitely has some important things to say to us. Bible Daily notes are written by Jeff Lucas to help you apply the lessons of God&’s Word daily. Each day and with each devotion, Jeff uses his signature wit and wisdom to reveal insights and practical application you can use in your own life. Each Bible devotion takes only a few minutes to read, but the lessons learned can last a lifetime.

Jeremiah and Lamentations: An Introduction and Commentary (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries #21)
by Hetty LallemanDespite the themes of doom and destruction, the primary message of Jeremiah is one of the love and grace of a God who never gives up on those he has called to be his own.

Lamentations powerfully expresses personal and national suffering. Yet, even in these utterances of desperate grief, there are glimpses of hope. Lifting out these significant but understated themes in Jeremiah and Lamentations, this commentary by Hetty Lalleman opens our eyes to an important chapter in salvation history.

The series is perfect for daily devotions, group study, or personal visits with the Bible. In this volume on Jeremiah, Goldingay explores the longest and most complex of the prophetic books.

Themes in the book include questions such as: How could God allow this suffering? How did things go so terribly wrong? How could God abandon us? Can the flame of faith burn in the darkness?
