This study has 11 sessions. The study set includes the Study Guide by Clifford M. Yeary and Collegeville Bible Commentary Volume 14: Jeremiah, Baruch by Pauline A. Viviano.
With the exile of many in Judah on the horizon, the prophet Jeremiah spoke on God's behalf using words and symbolic actions to condemn the idolatry that was rampant in Judah. His prophetic ministry was deeply misunderstood and his subsequent arrest was the source of personal anguish for this prophet who also announced a new covenant to be written on the hearts of God's people.
