  • EMBRACING THE TRANSFORMATION
    WALTER BRUEGGEMANN
    "Like athletes, preachers carry inside them the voices of their most challenging coaches--people who have encouraged them to dig deeper, stretch farther, and more faithfully pursue their craft and calling. In these crystalline essays, Walter Brueggemann is that voice again, shaking us free of the dust of our own diminished expectations, bolstering our best instincts, and consis...

  • REMEMBER YOU ARE DUST
    WALTER BRUEGGEMANN
    "Walter Brueggemann is the master of finding fresh and compelling dimensions of meaning in texts so familiar they barely scratch the surface of our consciousness. In this exciting collection, Brueggemann finds that when we admit we are dust, we can be liberated. Why? Because we are free from acting like God. We are free to choose obedience to the one living, true Sovereign. The...

  • DAVID AND HIS THEOLOGIAN
    WALTER BRUEGGEMANN
    Throughout Walter Brueggemann's career, he has repeatedly found his way back to the David and royal traditions. From some of his earliest articles and essays to monographs, commentaries, and sermons, he has explored this rich field in literary, social, and theological depth. As he has said, "My preoccupation with David rests on the awareness that David occupies a central positi...

  • TRUTH-TELLING AS SUBVERSIVE OBEDIENCE
    WALTER BRUEGGEMANN
    "Those who serve as truth-tellers in the church, like those who listen to the truth-telling in the church, are a mix of yearning and fearfulness, of receptiveness and collusion. In the end, the work of truth-telling is not to offer a new package of certitudes that displaces old certitudes. This truth to be uttered and acted, rather, is the enactment and conveyance of this Perso...

  • DIVINE PRESENCE AMID VIOLENCE
    WALTER BRUEGGEMANN
    "To pursue the matter of "revelation in context," I will address an exceedingly difficult text in the Old Testament, Joshua 11. The reason for taking up this text is to deal with the often asked and troublesome question: What shall we do with all the violence and bloody war that is done in the Old Testament in the name of Yahweh? The question reflects a sense that these texts o...

  • INTO YOUR HAND
    WALTER BRUEGGEMANN
    This set of seven sermons follows the traditional church sequence of "The Seven Last Words of the Cross," utterances that the gospel narratives place on the lips of Jesus. These utterances are drawn from the several gospel narratives. In the liturgical life of the church, however, the sequence has a significance and staying power of its own quite apart from the gospel narrative...

  • THE ROLE OF OLD TESTAMENT THEOLOGY IN OLD TESTAMENT INTERPRETATION
    WALTER BRUEGGEMANN
    This collection of essays is drawn from a series of previous collections to which the author has contributed that were designed to honor senior scholars in the discipline of Old Testament study. Each of these essays reflects a distinct intention depending on the nature of the original collection in which they appeared and the scholar who was being honored. Taken together, howev...

  • THE GOD OF ALL FLESH
    WALTER BRUEGGEMANN
    Biblical faith is passionately and relentlessly material in its accent. This claim is rooted in the conviction that the creator God loves and cares for the creation and summons creation to be in sync with the will of the creator God. This collection of essays is focused on the bodily life of the world as it is ordered in all of its problematic political and economic forms. The ...

  • VIRUS AS A SUMMONS TO FAITH
    WALTER BRUEGGEMANN
    Why bother with the interpretive categories of biblical faith when in fact our energy and interest are focused on more immediate matters? The answer is simple and obvious. We linger because, in the midst of our immediate preoccupation with our felt jeopardy and our hope for relief, our imagination does indeed range beyond the immediate to larger, deeper wonderments. Our free-ra...

  • TO ACT JUSTLY, LOVE TENDERLY, WALK HUMBLY
    WALTER BRUEGGEMANN / DR. SHARON DALOZ PARKS / THOMAS GROOME
    In this book, an Old Testament scholar, a psychologist and a religious educator come together to reflect on the three elements of Micah 6:8. How do the scriptures require us to respond to the problems of the real world? How can we maintain love in our ministrations to others? How can we speak with real authority while still keeping our humility? The book is geared to assist bel...

  • A WILDERNESS ZONE
    WALTER BRUEGGEMANN
    In these several pieces I have worked to trace out possible interfaces between specific scripture references and matters at the forefront of our common social life. It is my hunch that, almost without fail, such an interface creates a very different angle of vision for any element of our common social life, because it situates such a topic in the context of the biblical narrati...

  • RESISTING DENIAL, REFUSING DESPAIR
    WALTER BRUEGGEMANN
    This collection of essays constitutes an attempt to work faithfully at the generative interface of the Bible and our life in the world. This interface variously yields, in our attentiveness, assurances and summons and often empowerment for the work of faith. That work of faith is in our moment urgent, given the force of evil and violence among us, performed by willing thuggery,...

  • THE PECULIAR DIALECT OF FAITH
    WALTER BRUEGGEMANN
    Biblical utterance, in contrast to the sounds of power and certitude, offers imaginative probes into the mystery of God's creation and into the hidden complexities of human hurt and human hope. Thus the dialect of the Bible is offered in relational terms, so that the key ingredients to lived reality characteristically concern justice and righteousness, steadfast love, faithfuln...
