Download or read book Modern Jeremiahs written by Mark Stephen Jendrysik and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2008-03-20 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies where modern Jeremiahs place the sources of national decline and their purposed solutions and its analysis also reveals the central problem faced by this form of writing: the need to balance condemnation of certain practices within the democratic polity with calls for repentance. For these writers and political actors, the tensions created by these demands prove impossible to resolve, as the modern jeremiad further divides an already divided nation.
