In Walking the Ancient Paths, distinguished Old Testament scholar Walter C. Kaiser Jr. draws on a lifetime of study to illuminate the book of Jeremiah for a contemporary audience. Following an introduction that surveys the historical and literary background of Jeremiah, along with its theological emphases, Kaiser examines each verse of the text, explaining its meaning and significance. Each section is followed by devotional and application insights that guide the reader in applying the text to their everyday lives. Bibliographies in each section provide resources for further study, and most textual and linguistic matters are discussed in footnotes. Pastors, scholars, and serious students of the Bible will find this volume indispensable for understanding Jeremiah’s message and how to apply it today.

Mathison speaks highly of this resource designed for a contemporary audience: “Walter Kaiser has been a stalwart of conservative American evangelicalism for many, many decades. He has written dozens of books and articles. This stand-alone commentary is the fruit of a lifetime of study. It follows a fairly straightforward format, a section-by-section translation followed by commentary.” Pastors and scholars with some Hebrew will find this volume indispensable for understanding and teaching Jeremiah’s message.

This is a readable and exegetically useful commentary from Kaiser/Rata and Lexham Press. A highlight is the impressively readable and clear introduction (30 pages) to what is a substantial commentary (600+ pages) on the longest book of the Bible. I would have liked more summary material at the end of sections, but for looking at the text this is a valuable tool.
