Jeremiah and the Sin of Hypocrisy

In Greystone’s upcoming Spring course, Jeremiah as Christian Scripture, Dr. Matthew Patton will explore a key theme in the book of Jeremiah: hypocrisy. We are pleased to present a sample of Dr. Patton’s lecture on this topic below.

In the Reformed tradition we have a high view of the Old Testament as Christian Scripture. We know that all of Scripture witnesses in a rich way to Christ, crucified and raised, and yet, some books are more challenging to read in this life-giving way than others. This course will build on ancient as well as recent insights into Christian hermeneutics in the pursuit of a sensitive, Christ-exalting, and edifying reading of the book of Jeremiah.
