Thompson's study on the Book of Jeremiah is part of The New International Commentary on the Old Testament. Like its companion series on the New Testament, this commentary devotes considerable care to achieving a balance between technical information and homiletic-devotional interpretation.

Review\n“This is by far the most comprehensive work that has been done on the prophet Jeremiah. . . . An excellent work that is sure to become the classical major study of this prophet. A must for any serious student of the Bible.” 
— Southwestern Journal of Theology\n“Thompson’s Jeremiah rivals John Bright’s commentary as the best in English on 
Jeremiah. . . . His highly competent treatment lends itself to use by scholars and teachers as well as for sermon preparation and personal study.” 
— Christianity Today\n“An outstanding commentary that is bound to become a standard classic for English-speaking students.” 
— Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society\n“A helpful conservative commentary on Jeremiah for years to come.” 
— Bibliotheca Sacra\nThe Old Testament prophets played a crucial role in the history of Israel. Although there were many prophets who brought the message of God to his people, we have records 
of only a few. Of these, our knowledge of Jeremiah is probably the most complete. In this commentary for scholars and pastors, originally part of the New International Commentary on the Old Testament, J. A. Thompson examines the book of Jeremiah with its message urging the people of Israel to be true to their covenant Lord and to live in conformity with his covenant requirements. 
Thompson begins his study by looking at the role of the prophets in Israel and at Jeremiah’s place among them. He then discusses the historical setting of Jeremiah’s message. From this background, Thompson moves to an examination of the book of Jeremiah itself, focusing on its structure and composition before considering some important issues for exegesis—the date of Jeremiah’s call, the significance of the symbolic actions he performed, and the relationship between Jeremiah and Hosea. In the last part of his extensive introduction, Thompson examines the text and poetic forms of Jeremiah.
