Overview

"The leading Old Testament theologian reflects on the meaning of the gospel in today's world.These studies on a variety of biblical texts focus deftly on reading, listening to, and proclaiming the gospel in a broken, fragmented, and ""post-Christendom"" world. Brueggemann explores how these traditions have the potential to continually resonate in our contemporary communities and individual lives."
