Synopsis "Deconstruction and Reconstruction in Yhwh's Universal Project (in English)"
Taking its bearing from the mission statement in prophet Jeremiah's vocation narrative (Jer 1:10), the book examines YHWH's events of deconstruction and reconstruction in Israel of the Old Testament. Through the analysis of the six verbs-namely, "pluck up," "pull down," "demolish," "destroy," "build," and "plant," the book gives a different dimension to the common impression that Jeremiah is a prophet of woes and laments; thereby limiting his prophecies to only oracles of destruction, hence total annihilation. Rather, it investigates Jeremiah's prophecies as flying with two wings: oracles of judgement and oracles of salvation. In other words, the oracles are not only against the nations but also for the nations. With the exile of the Israelites and their restoration to the land in view, according to the book of Jeremiah, YHWH continues His creative and restorative acts and depicts the divine full involvement and control of Israel's history. In like manner, the book portrays the abiding divine presence in the history of humankind in general. Therefore, Israel is only used to form a bridge of YHWH's concern for the nations; hence the entire humanity. As YHWH sets the history of Israel in motion, so He performs for the rest of humanity. The goal of which has always been for the good and salvation of humankind of which the culmination is in the person and advent of Jesus Christ.
