The Old Testament prophets played a crucial role in the history of Israel. Although there were many prophets who brought the message of God to his people, we have records

of only a few. Of these, our knowledge of Jeremiah is probably the most complete. In this commentary for scholars and pastors, originally part of the New International Commentary on the Old Testament, J. A. Thompson examines the book of Jeremiah with its message urging the people of Israel to be true to their covenant Lord and to live in conformity with his covenant requirements. 

Thompson begins his study by looking at the role of the prophets in Israel and at Jeremiah’s place among them. He then discusses the historical setting of Jeremiah’s message. From this background, Thompson moves to an examination of the book of Jeremiah itself, focusing on its structure and composition before considering some important issues for exegesis—the date of Jeremiah’s call, the significance of the symbolic actions he performed, and the relationship between Jeremiah and Hosea. In the last part of his extensive introduction, Thompson examines the text and poetic forms of Jeremiah.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This is by far the most comprehensive work that has been done on the prophet Jeremiah. . . . An excellent work that is sure to become the classical major study of this prophet. A must for any serious student of the Bible.”
— Southwestern Journal of Theology

“Thompson’s Jeremiah rivals John Bright’s commentary as the best in English on
Jeremiah. . . . His highly competent treatment lends itself to use by scholars and teachers as well as for sermon preparation and personal study.”
— Christianity Today

“An outstanding commentary that is bound to become a standard classic for English-speaking students.”
— Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society

“A helpful conservative commentary on Jeremiah for years to come.”
— Bibliotheca Sacra

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a worthy commentary
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2014
The book of Jeremiah, despite its length, is frequently overlooked in preaching and Bible study. This is why having a good commentary on Jeremiah is important. Thankfully we have one in J.A. Thompson's contribution to the New International Commentary on the Old Testament (NICOT). Originally published in 1980, this was one of the first commentaries of the NICOT series. It is one of the best I've found on the book of Jeremiah.

Thompson does a great job of placing the various poetic passages within the context of the events that Jeremiah was dealing with during the time when the Southern Kingdom was crumbling under the weight of foreign invaders as well as its own sinfulness, ineptitude, and its weak-willed rulers. Written in an easy to understand and lively fashion, which makes it a good commentary for the layperson, it also contains a significant number of scholarly insights that will prove beneficial to the serious student as well.

The commentary on the text is nearly 650 pages. In addition, there is an extensive introductory section of approximately 120 pages, dealing with the structure and composition of the book, various exegetical issues, and the life and message of Jeremiah, among other topics. This introduction provides important information for interpreting the book of Jeremiah and itself is a good reason for buying the book.
