Circumscribing the Prostitute

"Overall Shields' writing was an excellent rhetorical study about the text." - Trinity Seminary Review Summer/Fall 2005 Zusammenfassung In Jeremiah 3.1-4.4, the prophet employs the image of Israel as God's unfaithful wife, who acts like a prostitute. The entire passage is a rich and complex rhetorical tapestry designed to convince the people of Israel of the error of their political and religious ways, and of the need for them to change before it is too late.
