Book jeremiah & lamentations book Michael Wilcock has written a handy commentary to keep Jeremiah s readers afloat while they try to grasp this ocean of a book We must not forget Lamentations either Throughout his book Jeremiah portrays Israel s response over the warning Babylonian attack as one of disbelief because of their apathetic relationship to Yahweh Lamentations portrays Israel s or at least the Lamenter s response after the Babylonian attack as being one of fear anguish and sorrow Wilcock summarizes the thrust of Lamentations message in 15 pages It is a bleak book but there is hope saying that as Israel suffers after Jerusalem s destruction Israel does believe in him sufficiently to talk to Him even if His answers are a long time coming Out of this present death will come a resurrection 29 Wilcock divides Jeremiah into 14 chapters each being between 10 20 pages in length When looking at Jeremiah 30000 feet from above one is able to cover a lot of ground very quickly Wilcock s volume is helpful as a summary of Jeremiah and Lamentations While many of Wilcock s sections were written too broadly for me and didn t answer many of the questions I have over the messy details the person in the pew who does not want the messy spider s web of details is whom this is written for He stresses that this work is an exposition than a commentary per se It is concerned with the Sunday morning pew sitter than it is the desk sitting commentary breather Wilcock explains the overall ideas of the authors in a way that is both readable relevant and honest to the text And that I can recommend As with Kidner I wouldn t start with Wilcock but his overhead view would be good to read near the end of your sermon or Bible study preparation The Focus on the Bible series is an excellent series for the person in the pew It doesn t dive into the gritty details but gives the readers a broad sweep of the book for it s place in the Christian life 272 Not the easiest to read but helped you get a much needed context 272
