Abstract

Whilst part I focused mainly on diachronic approaches to Jer, part II aims to emphasize synchronic aspects of Jer, considering when the earliest period would be in which Jeremiah is available as a complete narrative. The author uses narrative criticism with some modern adaptation to the canonical method, giving importance to the coexistence of the oral tradition with textual traditions within communities.
