As we conclude our exploration of Lamentations, we seek to understand how the Israelites came to terms with their suffering and loss in the hope that we too can learn to bear our griefs without giving into despair. This episode focuses on Lamentations 4 and 5. In it I mention a book I recently came across but have not had time to read that will inform my continuing interest in Lamentations. It is called "Prophetic Lament" bu Soong-Chan Rah.
