Description
1517 Media The Covenanted Self by Walter Brueggemann Patrick D. Miller
These exciting studies on the first five books of the Bible cover a wide range of topics challenging the reader to confront the issues of faithfulness responsibility and justice in an ever-changing world. Brueggemann sets the issues of praise and lament grace and duty truth and power in new frames of reference that call for a response. He demonstrates that the Christian reader of the Bible cannot blithely pass over the Pentateuch as simply pre-Christian and without relevance. His creative use of metaphor and imagination invite the reader to encounter freshly in these biblical texts Gods call and the work of justice.show more
