Nancy C. Lee is Professor of Religious Studies at Elmhurst College. She is the author of Lyrics of Lament (2010) and The Singers of Lamentations (2002). She has contributed to The Bible and Women (2013) and to The Oxford Encyclopaedia of the Bible and the Arts (2015).

I know of no one in our discipline who pays such close and sustained attention to the detail of the text as does Nancy Lee. In a culture of rushed reading and skimming of texts, Lee shows us the immense gain in slowing down. I anticipate that this book will evoke a fresh wave of scholarship among those who take the text seriously.
