Dr. Jill Firth joins me to talk about the prophet Jeremiah. We discuss how the book of Jeremiah is complicated and also that the person Jeremiah was complicated. Did he go through an emotional transformation from the beginning to the end of the book? Was he just a wreck? What do we learn by allowing Jeremiah to be a complex and emotional person?
