The book that bears the prophet Jeremiah’s name does not merely document the past but looks forward to God’s future and final work in Christ. Perhaps more than any book of the Old Testament, Jeremiah attests to the process of its own writing, transmission, and editing, and these internal clues confirm its original purpose as a book for all time and for every nation.

Michael Shepherd carefully lays out Jeremiah’s far-reaching message with passage-by-passage translation and up-to-date commentary. The themes of judgment and restoration certainly concern Israel’s historical judgment at the hands of the Babylonians and their subsequent return, but also the eschatological judgment of all worldly opposition to God and a final restoration and flourishing in the land of the covenant.

Shepherd’s second volume in the Kregel Exegetical Library series, this commentary makes a significant contribution to the academic dialogue on the book of Jeremiah and its connections to the rest of Scripture. The exploration is helpful for the scholar but accessible and useful for the pastor, examining the themes of covenant, kingship, judgement, restoration, and the nations.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Michael Shepherd has provided an unprecedented achievement for Jeremiah studies and the larger evangelical audience. Given his erudite publications on the Book of the Twelve, hermeneutics, and Hebrew and Aramaic languages, this current work makes an original contribution to studies on the book of Jeremiah because of his explanation of the Hebrew Vorlage underlying the Old Greek Jeremiah in comparison with the Masoretic edition of Jeremiah. Shepherd’s commentary also fastidiously focuses on the book’s shape as an eschatological text within the canon, in so doing, concentrating on the strategy of the book itself rather than historical or theological assumptions. Anyone who reads this commentary will be amazed at its brilliance and encouraged by its message.” -- Tracy J. McKenzie ― Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary Published On: 2022-12-20

“Michael B. Shepherd has written the only English commentary on the book of Jeremiah that is based on the Hebrew text underlying the Old Greek. This is a bold and daring achievement.” -- Louis Stulman ― Professor of Religious Studies, University of Findlay Published On: 2022-12-20

“This work by Michael Shepherd is certain to become a standard in the study of the text of Jeremiah. It is magisterial in the depth and breathe of its scholarship. It is faithful in its evangelical and orthodox convictions. Any serious study of this major prophet will have to consult this superb work.” -- Daniel L. Akin ― President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary Published On: 2022-12-20

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique!
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2023
There are two elements to consider in evaluating this commentary. First, there is the novel, almost experimental approach of using as his Hebrew source text the old Greek text of Jeremiah! Yes, I said Greek. Second, there is the commentary skill exhibited as he works through the text. To my mind, he scores far better on the second one than the first.

For the life of me, I can’t see why that Greek text as his basis was a good idea. Yes, I read his reasoning, but I’m still unconvinced. Perhaps the scholarly world will eventually canonize him as a bold pioneer, but I don’t think still I’d be convinced. Perhaps, too, since he mentioned the plethora of commentaries on Jeremiah today, he felt he needed an angle to join the fray. I would have thought, but what do I know, that delivering a commentary in a major commentary series on one of the largest books in the Bible would have been enough. If I’m studying anything based on the Masoretic text, as most would be doing, won’t this commentary leave me high and dry where they differ? Will this be along the lines of Coca-Cola bringing out New Coke, which of course if you’re younger than me you probably never heard of?

If I’ve been sounding super-critical, let me balance it. Mr. Shepherd is a quality scholar. His writing is fine, his research thorough, his conclusions clear headed and the help he gives quantifiable. His earlier commentary on the Minor Prophets in this same series was top notch. It would not be fair to write him or this commentary off for one questionable idea even if it unfortunately pervades the whole work. To be even more fair, what he did is not one iota as bad as those who take the Masoretic text and chop it to pieces, as if you couldn’t believe a word of it. Finally, perhaps anticipating the criticism, he mentions what the MT says often throughout the commentary.

Every commentary has its strength and this one is the exegesis despite the incessant discussion of the Greek text. The exegesis is better than, say, the theology, but it’s not barren of theology and often makes good Scriptural connections.

I’ll give this 4 stars, but you can add one more if you happened to be looking for a commentary on the Greek text of Jeremiah. If that were the case for you , I doubt this one could be beat.

I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
