Jeremiah: Preacher of Grace, Poet of Truth
Interfaces Series. ed. Barbara Green, OP.
Collegeville: Liturgical Press, 2007.

What does it mean to be deeply in love with God and, at the same time, with a person, a group, or a nation that is at odds with God? Such is the dilemma of the prophet Jeremiah, and it is an experience not unfamiliar to many in our own day. The lesson of Jeremiah’s story is that, no matter how unfaithful humans may be, God remains always faithful, always ready to forgive and to right the wrongs humans have wrought.

A Liberation-Critical Reading

This is the third volume (of a four-volume set) of readings of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament from the perspective of Liberation Theology and feminist criticism.
