Lament does not seem to be a pervasive feature of the New Testament, particularly when viewed in relation to the Old Testament. A careful investigation of the New Testament, however, reveals that it thoroughly incorporates the pattern of Old Testament lament into its proclamation of the gospel, especially in the person of Jesus Christ as he both prays and embodies lament.

As an act that fundamentally calls upon God to be faithful to God's promises to Israel and to the church, lament in the New Testament becomes a prayer of longing for God's kingdom, which has been inaugurated in the ministry and resurrection of Jesus, fully to come.

Industry Reviews

Eklund's book is a stellar example of a piece of theological interpretation of Scripture that evinces a grasp of the historical as well as the theological elements of the biblical text, always with a view to the text's meaning for the contemporary world. Much more than a model of a hermeneutical approach to Scripture, however, Jesus Wept calls the church back to the fundamental and irreplaceable practice of lament in the Christian life by convincingly arguing for the role and function of lament in the NT. * Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society *
