To pluck up, to tear down A commentary on the book of Jeremiah 1-25 Walter Brueggemann - Grand Rapids, U.S.A William B. Eerdmans 1988 - 222tr. Paperback 21cm

Jeremiah's poignant lament over Judah's social and religious disintegration reflects God's own pathos-laden yearning for his disobedient covenant people. In this expository commentary, Walter Brueggemann explores the historical setting and message of Jeremiah as well as the text's relevance for the church today. Offering a fresh look at critical theological issues in the Jeremiah tradition, Brueggemann argues that Jeremiah's voice compels us to rediscern our own situation, issuing an urgent invitation to faith, obedience, justice, and compassion.
