| Summary: | Old Testament prophetic and poetic literature frequently employs change of grammatical person, number, and gender (PNG) in reference to the same character. For example, a character can be referred to in both the third and the first person, or both third (objective) and second person (subjective/emotional), even in the same sentence: ‘their hearts … your altars’ (Jer. 17:1). Particularly in Jeremiah, such participant-reference shifts force the reader to ask who is speaking and who is addressed., This book was originally the author’s doctoral dissertation (VU University Amsterdam, 2010). |
