A Mouth Full of Fire: The Word of God in the Words of Jeremiah Volume 29 - Paperback

by Andrew G. Shead (Author), D. A. Carson (Other)

In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Andrew Shead examines Jeremiah's commissioning, embodiment of the word of God, covenant preaching and "oracles of hope." He shows how a differentiation between the divine "word" and the prophet's "words" enables the word of God to function as an organizing center for the book's theology.
