Jeremiah: References & Edit History

Additional Reading

J. Philip Hyatt, Jeremiah: Prophet of Courage and Hope (1958), is a relatively brief survey. John Skinner, Prophecy and Religion: Studies in the Life of Jeremiah (1922, reissued 1963), is one of the best interpretations of the prophet. Sheldon H. Blank, Jeremiah: Man and Prophet (1961), is an excellent study, especially of Jeremiah’s personality and his prayer life. Three good full-scale commentaries on the Book of Jeremiah are John Bright (ed. and trans.), Jeremiah (1965); J.A. Thompson, The Book of Jeremiah (1980); and Robert P. Carroll, Jeremiah (1986).
