Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. The Book of Jeremiah: New International Commentary on the Old Testament [NICOT]

J.A. Thompson's commentary on Jeremiah is one of the most thorough commentaries available for this important book. In it, he discusses issues such as Jeremiah's role as a prophet of Israel, issues with exegesis of the book, thehistorical setting, the life of Jeremiah, and of course, the book itself. With over 600 pages of commentary, Thompson gives the reader a complete picture of Jeremiah,making this commentary a valuable resource for any Old Testament student. Although technical enough for scholars to find it stimulating, lay people should have no trouble following Thompson through Jeremiah.

I first came across Thompson’s commentary on Jeremiah in grad school over 20 years ago. At that time, I felt it was by far the best work available on the OT book. I still feel that way today. Thompson is an Evangelical scholar who writes well. This volume deals with almost everything one could want on the book of Jeremiah.
