Covering a rich landscape of literary, theological and cultural creativity, the authors explore the astonishing variety of interpretations inspired by Lamentations, one of the shortest books in the Bible.

Features a wealth of reactions – covering two and a half millennia – to this ancient text's influential and unflinching account of the devastation wreaked by war
Explores a kaleidoscope of examples ranging from the Dead Sea Scrolls; Yehudah Halevy; John Calvin; and composer, Thomas Tallis; through to the startling interpretations of Marc Chagall; contemporary novelist, Cynthia Ozick; and Zimbabwean junk sculpture
Deploys "reception exegesis", a new genre of commentary that creatively blends reception history and biblical exegesis
Offers sensitive treatment of challenging theological and psychological responses to one of the most disturbing books of the Hebrew Bible
Widely relevant, with nuanced reflections – both religious and secular – on human suffering and the disasters of war
