In this first lecture, we delve into the intricate details of the Book of Jeremiah, looking at Chapters 1-30, and examining its structure, themes, and historical context. A systematic approach connects historical events and prophetic messages in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the text. We discuss the setting of the impending Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem, the themes of idolatry, social injustice, and misplaced trust in religious relics. The lecture also notes Jeremiah's personal challenges and his role as a prophet. Together, we explore the complex narrative and see significant theological insights in Jeremiah, uncovering its timeless relevance and enduring message.

These lectures were originally delivered to undergraduate students at a Christian university. A couple of things were done for your convenience: 1 - the long lecture was broken up into shorter segments. 2 - the subtitles were created via software, and thus, they should be mostly accurate.
