Summary, Etc. Two rival views dominate contemporary Jeremiah scholarship. One sees the book as essentially a Deuteronomistic product, the other as stemming largely from the prophet himself. Dr. McConville begins by entering into dialogue with both sides of the debate and then sets out his own method of approach. He sees Jeremiah as moving from hope that the people would repent to the realization that they would not. The so-called Confessions are both the genuine experience of the prophet and part of his proclamation. The theology of the new covenant permits calls to repentance and promises of unconditional redemption to be held together in creative tension. - Back cover
