Jeremiah (Volume 1) (Daily Study Bible Old Testament Series)

The Daily Study Bible is the Old Testament extension of the Barclay's New Testament commentary series. This set of commentaries is meant to be a conservative, scholarly and readable approach to the Bible. This first volume of two on Jeremiah by Robert Davidson begins with a short introduction discussing why and when the book was written, the contents of the work, and a short section on the prophet Jeremiah himself. What follows is a verse by verse commentary on the Jeremiah drawing out the history and theology of this book. Good for lay people.  
  
More than any other prophet, Jeremiah struggled to understand God's will for him and his people.....Davidson writes" the message and activities of the great prophet, courageous, vulnerable, sensitive and passionate, a man crucified by his contempories but canonised by later generations are recounted in the first twenty-one chapters in a warmly personal way.

More than any other prophet, Jeremiah struggled to understand God's will for him and for the people of God. This volume on the first twenty chapters of Jeremiah recounts the story of this poet-prophet and opens up for the reader one of the most personal books of the Old Testament.

Carrying forward brilliantly the pattern established by Barclay's New Testament series, the Daily Study Bible has been extended to cover the entire Old Testament as well. Invaluable for individual devotional study, for group discussion, and for classroom use, the Daily Study Bible provides a useful, reliable, and eminently readable way to discover what the Scriptures were saying then and what God is saying today.Read less
