Spin the dreidel and read a book about Jeremiah! Today's gift is our new release Uprooting and Planting: Essays on Jeremiah for Leslie Allen, Vol. 459, edited by John Goldingay. This Festschrift for Leslie C. Allen, one of the best-known scholars of Jeremiah and Israelite prophecy, reflects the recent ferment in studies of
Jeremiah. A group of international scholars examine the location of the
prophecies in Jeremiah's life and consider the book's social, ethical,
theological, political, and devotional implications.
Contributors include Ralph P. Martin, Alice Ogden Bellis, Lawrence Boadt, Ronald E. Clements, William Domeris, John Goldingay, Linda Haney, Joseph M. Henderson, John Hill, Else K. Holt, Nancy C. Lee, Marilyn, J. Lundberg, Michael S. Moore, Tom Parker, Leo G. Perdue, Pamela J. Scalise, Marvin A. Sweeney, and Roy Wells.
The book is now available in the US and will be released later this month in the UK.
If you need something to munch while you read, you can celebrate Hanukkah with Maccabeans, the legendary jelly beans! Look for them in your kosher section.
