Walter Brueggemann (né le 11 mars 1933) est un érudit et théologien protestant américain de l'Ancien Testament qui est largement considéré comme l'un des érudits les plus influents de l'Ancien Testament des dernières décennies. Il est une figure importante du christianisme progressiste moderne dont le travail se concentre souvent sur la tradition prophétique hébraïque et l'imagination sociopolitique de l'Église. Il soutient que l'Église doit fournir un contre-récit aux forces dominantes du consumérisme, du militarisme et du nationalisme.

In this thoroughly revised edition of a classic in spirituality, Walter Brueggemann guides the reader into a thoughtful and moving encounter with the Psalms. This new edition includes a revised text, new notes, and new bibliography. "The movement and meeting of God with us is indeed a speech-event in which new humanness is evoked among us. Being attentive to language means cultivating the candid imagination to bring our own experience to the Psalms and permitting it to be disciplined by the speech of the Psalms. And, conversely, it means letting the Psalms address us and having that language reshape our sensitivities and fill our minds with new pictures and images that may redirect our lives" -from Chapter 3
