Exalting Jesus in Jeremiah, Lamentations

Christ-Centered Exposition

by Steven Smith, Holman Bible Editorial Staff

Exalting Jesus in Jeremiah, Lamentations is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this new commentary series, projected to be 48 volumes, takes a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books. Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition presented as sermons and divided into chapters that conclude with a “Reflect & Discuss” section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation. It’s not academic but rather presents an easy reading, practical and friendly commentary. The author of Exalting Jesus in Jeremiah, Lamentations is Steven Smith.

Reviews

[Emily Nelsen]

Highly recommend this series, I own multiple. This is not a verse by verse commentary but very helpful to see themes and the pointing to Christ. It would be helpful to have a few more specifics though. So proud of myself for finally finishing this.

[Chris Coppenbarger]

As far as commentaries go, this book is one of the best. I started reading it along with reading through Jeremiah in my ESV Journaling Set. It is written in a way that the average person with no seminary training can understand and yet be encouraged. The author, Steve Smith, is himself a pastor, and writes with a pastor's heart. I would not having more of the books in this series.

[Adam]

Pretty good, but due to the influence of some of the editors, like David Platt, some wokeness was subversively inserted that was clearly unnecessary.

[Steven Robertson]

Absolutely wonderful.
