Jeremiah’s “prophetic choice” in the face of Jerusalem’s end (Jer 21:1-10; 27–28; 38:14-28a)
Samenvatting
This study of the surrender to Babylon uses an interdisciplinary approach that includes historical-critical, linguistic, semiotic, communicative, and symbolic methods. The act of surrender is seen as a "prophetic choice" of theological significance, representing obedience to YHWH that goes beyond the political, ethical, and sapiential dimensions
