Description
Summary:The readjustment of theology to meet the demands of a new social situation is strikingly illustrated in the religious thinking of Jeremiah. This article shows how Jeremiah unflinchingly faced the hard facts, and demanded that men should acknowledge and reverence the will of God as expressed in these facts.
