C. L. Crouch provides a clear and concise introduction to the complex text of Jeremiah. Readers are introduced to the diverse approaches to the book, with attention paid to the way that these approaches differ from but also relate to one another. After a brief introduction, Crouch addresses the formation of the book, especially in relation to its Hebrew and Greek versions; the theological interests of the book and the challenges posed by attempts to link these to an actual man 'Jeremiah'; and the relationship of Jeremiah to other biblical prophets. Crouch focuses clearly on method and on approaches to the text, as is the mark of this series. This makes the book especially useful for students in the quest to navigate the diverse body of scholarly literature that surrounds this troublesome biblical book. The book of Jeremiah stands as one of the most challenging texts in the Hebrew Bible for both its content and for the the perennial questions about what text actually constitutes the 'book'. Here, C. L. Crouch offers not only a valuable survey that frames these issues and numerous others that one needs to understand in order to profitably engage with Jeremiah, she provides insight into how to tackle those issues. From the potential cacophony of scholarly proclamations Crouch orchestrates a symphony of views that enables the reader to gain a deeper appreciation of this challenging prophetic book. Filled with lucid insights and marked by clarity of expression, Crouch offers far more than a mere introduction to the study of Jeremiah. Her book will be a valuable resource in the classroom and a contribution to scholarship in equal measures.
