A sensitive and illuminating treatment of metaphor, the nature of biography, and the function of the imagination combines with a close reading of several passages (Jer. 4; 8-10; 14.1-15.4; 17; 20) to illuminate the theological quality of the depiction of Jeremiah.The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies224.206224/.206Polk Timothy1547374MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782588503321The prophetic persona3803716UNINA
