1. The hermeneutics of citation: Jeremiah 26 2. The identification of legitimate Israel: Jeremiah 26-32: 15 3. The standards of faith and intermediation: Jeremiah 34-36 4. The fall of Judah, the descent into Egypt, and Baruch ben Neriah: Jeremiah 37-45 5. The polemics of exile 6. The exilic coalition between the Shaphanides and Levites.
