<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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. <br/><br/>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Rebekah Eklund</b> is Assistant Professor of Theology at Loyola University Maryland, USA. She received her Th.D. in New Testament from Duke Divinity School, USA.
