That theology revolves around themes familiar from Israel's covenantal faith, especially the sovereignty of YHWH expressed in judgment and promise. The outcome of this theological nexus of context, person, and tradition is a book that moves into the abyss and out of the abyss in unexpected ways. It does so, in part, by asserting that God continues to be generatively and disturbingly operative in the affairs of the world, up to and including our contemporary abysses (such as 9/11). The God attested in the Book of Jeremiah invites its readers into and through any and all such dislocations to new futures that combine divine agency and human inventiveness rooted in faithfulness. The book specifies metaphorical and poetic modes of discussing as essential to critical reflection.  aReligion -- Biblical Studies -- Prophets  a211001 TKH  c5888d5888  00104070aTVCDbTVCDd2026-01-20g0.00l0pTVCD-5888v0.00yBK
