• Shead, Andrew G., (Geoffrey) (1964-)

• Shead finishes his series looking at the cycle of poems in Jeremiah 30 and 31. Major theme of restoration and the changes necessary for this. There are oacles showing continuity, and oracles showing discontinuity. The first oracles compares the dark past to the positive future and resortation. The second oracle looks at the patriachal offspring, addressing both Israel and Judah to symbolise all the people of God being on view. The third opens with a statement of discontinuity, to show God's faithfulness in the old covenant and how the new covenant will ne even more glorious. The fourth makes the strong point that God is going to do something radically new. Shead ends with 3 reflections. Firstly, this is the only Old Testament passage that mentions the new covenant, but not the only that describes it. Secondly, the language is not accidently taken up by Jesus at the Last Supper or by New Testament writers. Thirdly, wait in confidence for the Lord.
