NSBT 29: Mouth Full of Fire
The Word of God in the Words of Jeremiah.
I am putting my words as a fire in your mouth; these people are tinder and
it will consume them. (Jeremiah 5:14)
In the book of Jeremiah, not only is the vocabulary of word" and "words" " uniquely prevalent, but formulae marking divine speech also play an
unprecedented role in giving the book's final form its narrative and
theological shape. Indeed, the word of the Lord" is arguably the main " character, and a theology that is both distinctive and powerful can be seen to
emerge from the unfolding narrative.
In this stimulating study, Andrew Shead examines Jeremiah's use of word
language; the prophet's formation as an embodiment of the word of God; his
covenant preaching and the crisis it precipitates concerning the recognition of
true prophecy; and, in the oracles of hope," how the power of the word of God " is finally made manifest.
Shead then brings this reading of Jeremiah to bear on some issues in
contemporary theology, including the problem of divine agency and the doctrine
of Scripture, and concludes by engaging Jeremiah's doctrine of the Word of God
in conversation with Karl Barth. The prophet's major contribution emerges from
his careful differentiation of word" and "words." (= 9780830826308)"
It is extraordinarily rare for a reading of a biblical book to be " simultaneously creative and convincing, but Dr. Andrew Shead has managed it in
this work of Jeremiah. It is even more extraordinary for a book that
exemplifies careful exegesis and the best of one kind of biblical theology to
speak authoritatively to the discipline of systematic theology, but Dr. Shead's
work manages that, too. Characterized by tight and disciplined writing and
careful thought, this volume deserves careful study. - D.A. Carson"
