dc.description.abstract	ABSTRACT The Biblical book of Jeremiah offers truth to the Christian Church in America today. Jeremiah is a witness to leaders called to speak words of both warning and hope to those whom they lead. In what follows, exegetical analysis of selected passages of Jeremiah are presented, and I then delve into the dangers and consequences of idolatry, as well as the attendant themes of recovery and hope. Biblical scholars, theologians, and cultural critics are analyzed regarding those issues both in the time of Jeremiah and in our modern era. Sermons drawing on the exegesis and critical analyses bring a word to the gathered worshipping body of the present-day Church. I conclude by arguing that, in the end, Jesus is Lord and is the source of our hope.
