To translate the Book of Lamentations. Loss and grief used to be acknowledged and institutionalized in our religious and cultural life as an inevitable part of human experience. One of the most important texts for the communication of these dark but vital truths is the Book of Lamentations. This new translation, which places the biblical text in a social and historical context, helps the general reader find useful connections to one's personal encounters with grief.
