| Summary: | Within the earliest texts in the book of Jeremiah, a remarkable theological development can be reconstructed: A first layer of prophetic laments seems to have been expanded by theological interpretations that imply a shift from lament to accusation.

In this development, the beginnings of theology in the book of Jeremiah can be discerned. |
