Texts That Linger, Words That Explode: Listening to Prophetic Voices
These studies on the prophetic texts from
the Hebrew 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 explores how these prophetic
traditions have the potential to continually
resonate in our contemporary communities and
individual lives. Rather than "dead words"
to kingdoms no longer in existence, the
Israelite and Judean prophets have an
enduring impact on how God challenges our
values, our perspectives—and our very
lives. Brueggemann has become well known for
providing fresh perspective on ancient
texts, always in conversation with great
thinkers and people of faith.

Endorsements
"Widely published author Walter Brueggemann delves into ancient texts and contemporary consciousness, inviting the reader to rediscover these Scriptures and their radical implications. Perhaps not a comfortable read, but a challenging one nonetheless, from one of today's leading Old Testament theologians."
