Editorial Reviews

Review

Lovers of Hebrew will find a kindred spirit in Professor Mackay. Those without Hebrew will find a patient teacher leaving no stone unturned to make the word of God plain.

-- Alec Motyer ((1924–2016) Well known Bible expositor and commentary writer)

This commentary is refreshing-it actually explains the text of Jeremiah. John L. Mackay knows the critical speculations about the text but doesn't bore us with them. He avoids nothing; he ploughs through every bit of the text and gives a lucid explanation of it. Mackay will not write your sermon for you but gives you what you need to write your sermon - a clear understanding of what the text says.

-- Dale Ralph Davis (Respected Author and Old Testament Scholar)

"The commentary is as full as is reasonably possible, verse by verse, often word by word, and covers every question likely to be raised."

-- The Gospel Magazine

John L. Mackay's commentary on Jeremiah is a first class explanation of the prophet... It is certain to become the first 'port of call' in my studies of the book,... he has the ability to uncover the significance of the original message in such a way as to leave the application (almost) transparent.

-- Stephen Dray

5.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Reference
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2008
Verified Purchase
John Mackay's two volume commentary on Jeremiah is a godsend for anyone doing serious study of the prophet's writing. The bulk of the two volumes proceeds verse-by-verse, phrase-by-phrase, with detailed textual notes and interpretation. The author's own interpretive stance is clear (and might be categorized as traditional Christian), but Mackay is usually able to hold his position while clearly stating and fairly assessing the merits of alternatives interpretations where those alternatives are viable.

Volume 1 also contains valuable introductory material, including summaries of Mackay's interpretive approach, the reconstructed history of the test, Jeremiah's historical situation, and the prophet's life. Again, Mackay is able to clearly state and defend his own assertions (for example his estimation of the year of birth for Jeremiah) while allowing and assessing alternatives.

This is a nicely produced comprehensive work on Jeremiah. As such, it may overwhelm some for whom a more general treatment may be sufficient. For a good read and thematic treatment from a less traditional perspective, see Brueggemann's commentaries. For fine detail and encyclopedic introductory material, stick with Mackay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best commentary on Jeremiah out there
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2019
One of the finest Old Testament commentaries that I’ve ever read. Comprehensive without being bogged down in too many scholarly asides. Leaves no stone unturned as far as exegetical questions. Really well done. Hands down the best commentary on Jeremiah for pastoral work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Over-technical but useful
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2013
Verified Purchase
In reading Mr Mackay's commentary I have come across many helpful points. I'm glad I bought it. My only criticism would be the highly technical wording. He tells us many grammatical details that would be useless for the normal reader and it makes me wonder why he has to do this. Why an introduction of almost 100 pages? Quite unnecessary
