This book attempts to investigate the theology of Jeremiah with a particular focus on the motif of covenant by using a combination of social scientific method and literary critical method. One of the strengths of this book lies on its adoption of Mizo tribal reading and relates the texts to the contemporary context of the tribals in Mizoram. It explores that the new covenant was intended to provide for the necessary transition from Israel not only as a nation, but also functioned as a survival for their identity in order to create new community and new identity. The book proposes a possibility of Mizo tribal reading of the Bible to illuminate the world of the prophet by drawing parallels from the Mizo society.
