Walter Brueggemann has been one of the leading voices in Hebrew Bible interpretation for decades. His landmark works in Old Testament theology have inspired and informed a generation of students, scholars, and preachers. These chapters gather his recent addresses and essays, never published before, drawn from all three parts of the Hebrew Bible--Torah, prophets, and writings--and addressing the role of the Hebrew canon in the life of the church.Brueggemann turns his critical erudition to those practices--prophecy, lament, prayer, faithful imagination, and a holy economics--that alone may usher in a humane and peaceful future for our cities and our world, in defiance of the most ruthless aspects of capitalism, the arrogance of militarism, and the disciplines of the national security state.

What I love about these essays is that they showcase Brueggemann's cultural critique of our culture )(the consumer society/ national security state), systemic injustice, and conservative and liberal approaches to Scripture. It also unfolds his positive program and thoughtfulness about the meaning of what it means to live in covenant and in right relationship to God, others, our cities and the land. I especially loved his "Summons to a Dialogical Life" where he argues that life in covenant rejects both the absolutism of the institutional and autonomy of individual faith (I can be spiritual and not religious!) and calls us to live attentive lives between either extreme.
Also I love Brueggemann's definition of prophetic ministry as both 'truth-telling in the face of denial' and 'hope-telling in the face of despair' helpfully names the poles by which which pastors challenge and comfort, preach Christ's cross and resurrection.
So much good stuff, might have to get this book for myself sometime! ( )
