Delivered as the Baird Lecture for 1922, George Adam Smith’s Jeremiah is a sustained scholarly study of the Hebrew prophet, his historical setting, and the development of his message. Smith, a leading biblical scholar of his era, examines Jeremiah’s life against the turbulent final decades of the kingdom of Judah.
Combining careful textual analysis with vivid historical reconstruction, Smith illuminates the prophet’s struggles, his theology of the heart, and his enduring influence on later Jewish and Christian thought. The lectures remain a valuable introduction to one of the most personal voices in Scripture. This free EPUB edition is formatted for comfortable reading on any device.
