Excerpt from The Burden of the Lord: Aspects of Jeremiah's Personality, Mission, and Age This volume, it is hardly necessary to say, is not intended for expert Old Testament scholars. A book of that sort is quite beyond my power. The object is sufficiently indicated by the sub-title. It is to exhibit certain aspects of Jeremiah's personality, of the work to which he gave his life, and of the age in which that work was done. If a reader were to feel that the presentation of these aspects yielded a fairly complete picture of a great man, and of his time and task, I should be more than satisfied. I have been fortunate in being able to make use of Professor J. E. McFadyen's recently completed translation of Jeremiah now in the press. My thanks are due to Dr. McFadyen for this great privilege. Readers will not fail to observe, in the quotations made, the extent of my good fortune. I have to thank, also, my friend and neighbour. Rev. John Steele, B. D., Bellshill, for help in correcting the proofs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
