This collection of fine essays not only reflects that ferment but in important ways contributes to it and advances the discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost broadly, the current discussion seeks to move beyond the historical-critical categories of Sigmund Mowinckel and Bernhard Duhm and the classic formulation of three sources, A, B, and C. In Jeremiah as in other parts of biblical scholarship, the new questions concern the inadequacy of historical-critical readings of a positivistic kind and the prospect of synchronic readings, either through ideological analysis that seeks to show that ideology shapes the book, or through canonical readings that find a large theological intentionality to the whole of the book. It turns out, perforce, that ideological and canonical readings are closely twinned in their judgment about the literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis present collection, which includes both new voices and some of the established major players in the discussion, merits important attention.\" From the preface, by Walter Brueggemann\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Kessler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1575060981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781575060989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eisenbrauns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Martin Kessler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45896853422335,"sku":"9781575060989","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0bed1bf7-e8b6-4e42-b1f0-25518c231324.jpg?v=1721372501","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-the-book-of-jeremiah-martin-kessler-9781575060989","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
