Let the Word speak freely.

Walter Brueggemann has been one of the most influential Old Testament theologians of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. With an almost relentless pace, Brueggemann has significantly shaped biblical theology in the modern era, publishing 150 books and numerous articles. In his faithful and provocative interpretation, Brueggemann insists that the Bible has the power to remake the world, wresting the church’s imagination away from the military consumerism of the dominant culture and toward a radical vision of God’s reign, characterized by love of God and justice for the neighbor.

Reading the Bible with Brueggemann presents the development of Brueggemann’s thought through nine of his most significant works, from the foundational Prophetic Imagination to the magisterial Theology of the Old Testament and beyond. In a clear and readable style, Williamson allows scholars, pastors, and laypeople alike to read the Bible with Brueggemann and learn from and apply Brueggemann’s theological method.
