Troubling Jeremiah

Troubling Jeremiah presents essays by Jeremiah scholars who are troubled by the biblical book and give the scholarship on Jeremiah trouble in turn. Essays seek to move beyondl the Duhm-Mowinckel source criticism of the book to address matters of mataphor, final form, intertextuality, and the relationship of the book of various audiences of readers. Taken together, the 24 essays in this volume press for an end to "innocent" readings of Jeremiah inasmuch as current models provel inadequate for troubling the very Jeremiah they have already helped to reveal.
