Jeremiah Carroll

In this remarkable commentary Carroll offered his first systematic study of the book that turned his back on the prevailing trend to use the book to reconstruct the historical Jeremiah, propounding rather the view that the book was the compilation of many small units, much edited and reworked which were rarely connected originally with a prophet Jeremiah.
Carroll’s work has all the expected features of a major biblical commentary: thorough investigation of the original text, in this case also of the sharply divergent Septuagint text; deep acquaintance with the scholarly literature on the book; unceasing close reading of the work in its final shape and in its detail. Its unrelenting analysis of the often conflicting ideological and theological forces that created every aspect of the book.

Een klassiek werk. van een van de grote commentatoren op het boek Jeremiah.
