| Summary: | This collection of a selection of Walter Brueggemann’s articles from Journal of Preachers, reprinted here in revised form, is an inviting window onto Brueggemann’s remarkable ability to inhabit the biblical text in a way which brings it alive for contemporary readers. Written for preachers, the essays speak directly and imaginatively to Brueggemann’s US context. They do so, however, without riding roughshod over the biblical texts’ various native contexts, and without a jarring sense of ‘then’ versus ‘now’. Indeed, what Brueggemann so deftly achieves is a persuasive, and often seamless, extension of the claim of the texts on their original recipients to their claim on readers today. |
