520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc "The destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 587 B.C. is the likely setting for the book of Lamentations. This was the most traumatic event in the whole of Old Testament history, with its extreme human suffering, the devastation of the ancient city, national humiliation and the undermining of all that was thought to be theologically guaranteed to the Davidic monarchy, the city of Zion and the temple of the God of Israel. It is out of that unspeakable pain that Lamentations speaks in tear-soaked poetry of astonishing beauty and intricacy. If we neglect Lamentations, says Chris Wright, we miss the challenge and reward of wrestling with the massive theological issues that permeate it. How can suffering be endured alongside faith in a loving and good God? Even if these events are recognized and accepted as God's judgment, has not the flood of brutality and evil gone beyond all bounds? If anarchy, death and destruction stalk the land, can the center of Israel's faith in the covenant God of faithfulness and mercy be maintained? Wright shows that as Christian readers we must not, and cannot, isolate Lamentations from the rest of the Bible, nor should we read the rest of the Bible without Lamentations. We must still let it speak for itself, as a book for today."--Back Cover.
