Description
1517 Media Land Revised Edition by Walter Brueggemann
The land was one of the most vibrant symbols for the people of ancient Israel. In the land-gift promise and challenge-was found the physical source of Israels fertility and life and a place for the gathering of the hopes of the covenant people. In this careful treatment Walter Brueggemann follows the development of his theme through the major blocks of Israels traditions. The book provides a point of entrance both to the theology of the Old Testament and to aspects of the New Testament-even as it illuminates crucial issues of the contemporary scene. In this fully revised version Brueggemann provides new insights as well as updating the discussion notes and bibliography.show more
