Читать книгу Jeremiah 26-52 - Carolyn Sharp - Страница 15

Two important themes may be lifted up as organizing motifs for Jer 26–52: the theological theme of retributive justice enacted by Yhwh, and the political theme of adversarial internecine positions regarding the hegemony of Babylon. These themes are explored in poetic oracles, parenetic discourse, and narratives about Jeremiah, his allies, and his antagonists. Also perceptible within Jer 26–52 are structural elements that suggest the textual resilience of this complex set of traditions. That is, the Jeremiah traditions survive threats to the person of the prophet and to his scroll, and the traditions are portrayed as growing, being amplified through narrative and discursive doubling.
