In the last several years, Walter Brueggemann's writings have directly addressed the situation of Christian communities in today's globalized context, with its consumerist lifestyles, vast inequalities, and near-imperial exercises of power. His insights, forged in rugged encounters with the texts of the Old Testament, are sharp, painful, and indispensable. In the people Israel Brueggemann finds a model of an alternative community—anchored in YHWH, ever exploring new possibilities, and prophetically bent against empire. Part The Word Redescribing the World Part The Word Redefining the Possible Part The Word Shaping a Community of Discipleship
