Jeremiah, Lamentations

Huey’s commentary mines the depths Lamentations. Balancing poetic analysis with canonical connections and theological insights, the book will prove a helpful guide to this challenging book. [Full Review]

Excellent. Rightly credits other authors. But Huey's ability to summarize and explain are tremendous. And Huey's personal "voice" is warm and engaging. Highly recommended.

I did enjoy this commentary while going through Lamentations. I did not use it for Jeremiah, so keep that in mind for my review. It did feel a bit like Lamentations was an aside in comparison to his commentary on Jeremiah. It did raise some helpful insights and elements helpful for sermon content in Lamentations.

Huey is a good reference volume with an eye toward exposition of individual passages. Scalise may produce a replacement volume for NICOT. Get Huey until Scalise appears.
