About this title

About the Author:

Walter Brueggemann is William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament Emeritus at Columbia Theological Seminary and the author of numerous books including, from Fortress Press, The Prophetic Imagination,Theology of the Old Testament and The Creative Word.

From Library Journal:

Using analysis of specific biblical texts as the basis for his analysis of biblical authority, Brueggemann shows how the Bible imaginatively constructs a counter-cultural worldview and how the eternal divine intentions are to be practiced in our contemporary world. Perceiving the biblical alternative to our values is an act of "obedient interpretation," while "interpretative obedience" discerns how the eternal divine commands are to be expressed in temporal ethical action. In this context, Brueggemann addresses current democratic, ecological, and urbanized crises. Recommended especially for seminary and large academic libraries.
