"Sharp goes into much depth and detail as she seeks to describe the character of the two ideological perspectives found in the prose of Jeremiah. This is an interesting and well-written book, but it is not for the faint of heart or the biblical novice. Sharp is to be congratulated for nuancing a very important and complex prophetic book. This book ends with a wonderful call to exegesis and a vision of a Bible which can be read seriously and appropriated by all."" -Donn F. Morgan, Anglican Theological Review"
