Jeremiah, Part 8

In this episode of ‘Route 66: A Podcast Journey Through the Bible,’ I look at Jeremiah, chapters 12 and 13.

The document to which I refer near the beginning of the podcast is a summary of the outline of Jeremiah12-14 from a commentary written by Paul Kretzmann. This is its content:
