The author analyzes the poetic songs of biblical Lamentations with oral-poetic folkloric method for the first time with surprising results. Contemporary lament poems are then compared from recent post-war Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina about suffering in cities under siege. Oral-poetic and socio-rhetorical methods illumine two lead singers in dialogue in a mourning context, employing formulas and themes of dirge, psalmic and prophetic traditions in their compositions, but infusing these with their individual artistry to respond to Jerusalem's destruction. Poets through history and across cultures share common ground in how they render the suffering of their war-torn cities. The prophet Jeremiah emerges in Lamentations as one lead singer by virtue of how he modifies traditional formulas (imagery, themes, terms) in response to the context. A woman emerges as another lead singer who pushes the limits of current theology in crisis.

A Time for Sorrow: Recovering the Practice of Lament in the Life of the Church examines the overlooked and often misunderstood practice of lament within the Christian faith. The book, edited by Sean M. McDonough and Scott Harrower, brings together theological and historical perspectives to argue for the reintegration of lament into contemporary church practice. It explores lament in both the Old and New Testaments, its historical role among Evangelicals, and its importance in pastoral care and communal worship. The authors aim to show that lament is a biblically endorsed way for believers to express grief, sorrow, and repentance, thereby fostering a more genuine and compassionate faith community.
