Philip King utilizes archaeological artifacts and texts of the late seventh and early sixth centuries B.C.E., many of them unpublished or not easily accessible, to elucidate the text of the book of Jeremiah, a book that is sometimes described as difficult and whose formation is complicated. By doing so, he adds important spatial and temporal dimension to the history of Israel and to the literature about the life of one of its most significant prophets: Jeremiah. Black and white photos, diagrams, maps,notes, a glossary, biliography and index are all included.
