Kathleen O'Connor shows that the intense emotional language of Jeremiah documents a community's effort to restore their collapsed social world. Both prophet and book provide language to articulate disaster; move self-understanding from delusional security to identity as survivors; constitute individuals as moral agents; and characterize God as suffering trauma along with the people.
