Disruptive Grace

Walter Brueggemann, the author of "Disruptive Grace," has long been established as one of the world's leading interpreters of the Hebrew Bible. Brueggemann has delivered highly-respected work about Old Testament theology and this has inspired an endless list of admirers, including students, scholars, and preachers.

"Disruptive Grace" discusses the author's view on practices such as prophecy, lament, prayer, faithful imagination, and of holy economics (which, by itself, has the potential to usher in humane and peaceful prospects for the cities of the world). Each section features an introduction from Carolyn Sharp, who is particularly effective at highlighting the characteristic themes of Brueggemann's work in each specific chapter.

The qualities of "Disruptive Grace" are beyond a study of the ever challenging word of Scripture: It further provides an introduction to a superb, passionate, and incisive interpreter of the Hebrew Bible.
