Product Description

Walter Brueggemann is one of the worlds leading scholars in biblical interpretation and the Old Testament.

In this book, he reflects on what the Church does when it reads the Bible. This never happens in a vacuum but is always a highly political act of reinterpreting and at times unmasking the dominant forces in the world in which we live. Brueggemann writes beautifully and accessibly and bridges the gap between church and academia.
