For over one hundred years International Critical Commentaries have had a special place among works on the Bible. They bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological - to help the reader understand the meaning of the books of the Old and New Testaments. William McKane's volumes on Jeremiah are now made available in paperback for the first time.

Reviews
. . . This is the commentary to purchase, cherish and meditate upon day and night . . . I feel that McKane is due a standing ovation from all the other players currently operating in Jeremiah Studies for his most accomplished achievement . . . This is the Jeremiah commentary for ages to come. * Journal of Theological Studies *
McKane pursues the prophecy of Jeremiah in typical ICC fashion. He leaves no aspect of intricacies in the text without comment; a plethora of detail greets the reader at every turn of the page. The author addresses questions relating to technical matters with thorough diligence. * Master's Seminary Journal *
In these volumes, McKane's skills achieve their ultimate expression: the rigorously high standards of scholarship . . . his meticulous assembling of evidence from the ancient versions and the medieval commentaries; his innovative and influential theory of the "rolling canon"; his balanced presentation of different possibilities of interpretation. * The Independent *
