A Prophet to the Nations - Archaeological and Historical Perspectives on Jeremiah 46-51

The articles in this volume offer an interdisciplinary analysis of the Oracles against the Nations in the Book of Jeremiah, exploring their literary, historical, and theological significance. Bringing together leading international scholars, it integrates biblical exegesis with archaeological and historical research, shedding new light on the political and cultural contexts of these prophetic texts. The book challenges both traditional views (OAN as an irrelevant appendix) as well as modern biases (OAN as Schadenfreude-literature) by demonstrating how these oracles are not mere additions but essential to the prophetic message of Jeremiah. With a strong focus on the historical rooting of the oracles, it provides fresh insights into the complex dynamics between Israel and its neighbouring nations. A key resource for scholars of biblical studies, ancient history, and theology.
