The Book of JeremiahThe book of Jeremiah is so named because it contains the prophecies of Jeremiah. The book also provides a great deal of information about Jeremiah's life and person.

His messages were not well received and as a result he was shamefully mistreated by his countrymen who viewed his words as traitorous, imprisoned him, and forcible carried him off to Egypt where he may have died a martyr.

Some Bible scholars indicate that the book of Jeremiah is not laid out in chronological order. The book of Lamentations is often attributed to Jeremiah. (See our Internet resources page for sites with more information on this topic.) |
