    When Words become too Violent: Silence as a Form of Nonviolent Resistance in the Book of Jeremiah

    Abstract: Throughout the Book of Jeremiah, the prophet is depicted as a victim of verbal and physical violence to which he often responds with fierce imprecations. My study articulates a basic framework in which these troubling passages can be understood and used responsibly by contemporary readers (“Speech as a Response to Violence”) but then argues that Jeremiah’s prayer in Jer 18 violates the balance and boundaries of this framework (“Speech as a Response too Violent”). Inasmuch as this discussion reveals the problems and potential dangers of speech, I offer a reading of Jer 15–16, 26, and 28 that highlights the prophet’s silence as an alternative response to violence. This silence, I argue, is not a form of submissive suffering but an act of public critique and strategic disengagement. Jeremiah’s silence speaks powerfully and peacefully in his own violent context and, by extension, may speak so also in ours.

    The Servants of Saul: ‘Minor’ Characters and Royal Commentary in 1 Samuel 9–31
    SAGE Publications ; 2015

    Abstract: Since studies of the Saul narratives in 1 Samuel 9–31 tend to focus on the three main protagonists—Samuel, Saul, and David—characters who play only a minor role have not received much attention. To provide one of these ‘minority perspectives’, this article offers a re-reading of the narrative with a focus on Saul's servants. Although these figures are the only ones who are involved in all of the major scenes of the king's career, their role in the narrative has not been examined. Drawing from six servant passages (1 Sam. 9.1–10.16; 16.14–23; 17–18; 21–22; 28; 31), an attempt is made to show that Saul's servants bear heavily on the development of the plot and that they function as an important, indirect means of the characterization of Saul. The narrative role of these allegedly minor figures therefore has important ramifications for recent efforts to rehabilitate the image of Israel's first king.

    Are God’s ‘Good Plans’ not Good Enough? The Place and Significance of Jer 29.15 in Jeremiah’s Letter to the Exiles
    SAGE Publications ; 2021
    In:  Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Vol. 45, No. 4 ( 2021-06), p. 561-575

    Abstract: My analysis of Jer 29 argues for including v. 15 in the unit describing God’s ‘good plans’, which is delimitated almost always as vv. 10-14. A review of translations and commentators reveals v. 15 to be a crux interpretum, which often is ‘solved’ through textual transposition. Discussing the omission of vv. 16-20 in Jer-LXX as well as some standard indicators of delimitation, such as speech formulas, conjunctions, and scribal paragraph markers, I argue for reading v. 15 as the exiles’ direct response to the preceding divine promises. This understanding of the structure of Jer 29 shifts the main message of the prophet’s letter from God’s ‘good plans’ to the addressee’s rejection of these plans. For a post-exilic readership, the letter explains the suspension of divine restoration and elevates the New Covenant promises of Jer 30-31.
