1517 Media The Practice of Prophetic Imagination by Walter Brueggemann
Walter Brueggemann declares that the necessary character of truly prophetic preaching today is a contestation between narratives.

Brueggemann writes here for leaders in faith communities who bear the responsibility of preaching. He describes the discipline of a prophetic imagination in an unflinchingly realistic unwaveringly candid manner.show more
