“My hope is that a more careful and thoughtful study will make it forever impossible for us to speak jestingly or to think carelessly about the tears of Jeremiah.”
Jeremiah is the most misunderstood of all the great men in history. To be one of the healthiest of men and to be thought morbid, to be one of the strongest and to be thought weak, to be one of the bravest and to be thought fainthearted, to be a giant and to be thought small, has been his hard fortune.
We Americans, with our national temperament and popular philosophy, find it nearly impossible to understand Jeremiah. To truly understand him implies such a profound insight into human character, into the lessons of the past and the facts of the present, into the religious history of the race and the perils of today, as our happy circumstances and prosperous material civilization with difficulty allow.
Unselfish grief over the ruin of individuals, of generations, and of nations refines the soul, dignifies it, gives it steadiness under temptations, gives it earnestness in the work of life, and brings it into sympathy with Him who wept over Jerusalem. To understand Jeremiah is to understand the world’s need of Christ.

1 review for Jeremiah
Ballentine’s observations of the prophet Jeremiah provide helpful insights that allow one to read this book of prophecy through a different lens. I was amused by Ballantine’s fervor in defending Jeremiah, thinking that if I was in a pickle, I would like him to be the one to defend me!
Since I was just beginning the reading of Jeremiah in my personal reading of the Bible, this book came at the right time. Ballentine sees the prophet as the one chosen by God to live through the fall of Judah and “taste the bitterness of its dregs” and to “immortalize its unparalleled sorrows in a book.” He goes on to describe Jeremiah’s unenviable position this way: “Jeremiah’s tragic distinction has been just this – to see the darkest truths and to feel what that truth compelled, and then to be told, “It’s just Jeremiah’s way. That’s just how he is.” Thus a careless world tries to lessen the sting of serious reproof. They accuse those who talk of national sins as being naturally judgmental; those who defend truth are interfering; those who speak of divine wrath are themselves naturally vindictive.” He continues to portray the discomfort of Jeremiah’s position among his own people: “Though a patriot, he seemed to his fellow citizens to be a traitor, without faith in his country or sympathy for her defenders. Jeremiah was a lonely man. He had no home into which he could run out of the storms of public life, as into a little sunny harbor of peace.”
This is a very short book, only 23 pages, but it is an excellent supplement while studying the book of Jeremiah. I found myself looking at the prophet with admiration and a renewed respect. Ballentine begins the conclusion of the book with a joyous tone saying, “Whoever is brave enough to look facts in the face, and unselfish enough to feel, must carry at all times a weight of dread and grief that is beyond expression in words. This would be insupportable, except that the Christian also has hopes and joys that are even more incomparable.” Is this not one of many reasons for anyone who does not follow Christ to consider following Him?
