Jeremiah: A 12-Week Study

Knowing the Bible

by Matthew S. Harmon, J.I. Packer (Editor)

The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) “Gospel Glimpses” highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) “Whole-Bible Connections” show how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) “Theological Soundings” identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on every page of the Bible.

Appointed to be a prophet before he was born, Jeremiah faithfully preached God’s Word in the face of confusion, opposition, and persecution. When instructed, he brought the message of God’s righteous judgment against sin to the nation of Israel, but not without reminding them of God’s covenant faithfulness. In this 12-week study, Matthew Harmon highlights key biblical themes, clarifies crucial doctrines, and draws personal applications from the book of Jeremiah—reminding us of the truth that God’s proclamation of judgment is always intended to spur his people to seek salvation in and through him.

Absolutely loved this Bible study! It really makes you think about the passages, and it connects to other passages in the Bible. I cannot recommend this enough! I had developed a love for the book of Jeremiah after reading this one, and I hope to buy some more of these in the future.

I bought this a few months ago because Matthew Harmon was my prof. for New Testament Theology, and I was interested to read some of his published works. I am not familiar with the rest of the series (Knowing the Bible by Crossway); however, if they are all like this one, I hope to take advantage of the whole series at some point. Dr. Harmon does a great job keeping the micro and macro considerations as well as relevant themes.
