Week 1 General Impressions

Reading over these two historical accounts, what was Judah like during Jeremiah's life? What was the political atmosphere? What socio/economic problems did they face? What was their religious world view? And anything else that adds to your understanding of what the world was like at this time in history. (Take your time and think about this. These will be questions we will come back to again and again as we study Jeremiah. Here I just want you to start thinking of these characters as real people with the same problems and life situations that we each face. In order to really understand what is going on we need to get this from being something from long ago to something that we can relate to.)
