The Threat of Life: Sermons on Pain, Power, and Weakness
These twenty-two sermons from a master
interpreter demonstrate how ancient texts
can speak to the whole gamut of human
experience even now. Included in Walter
Brueggemann's preview are keen observations
about the timeless issues of human life,
both personal and social: the pain we face,
often inflicted on each other; the use and
abuse of power; the weakness and fragility
of life; the redemptive power of faith; and
much more.

Excerpts
"I hope that the interpretive lens I have pursued here -- the linkages of Old Testament and New Testament, the epicenter of the Bible for the church, the enterprises of speech as generative of life, and the capacity of the gospel to give life in a world bent on destruction -- are suggestive and supportive of those who preach and those who listen."
