Reality, Grief, Hope pdf

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.

Reality, Grief, Hope pdf par Walter Brueggemann

Walter Brueggemann is one of the most highly regarded Old Testament scholars of our time; talk-show host Krista Tippett has even called him "a kind of theological rock star." In this new book Brueggemann incisively probes our society-in-crisis from the ground up.

Pointing out striking correlations between the catastrophe of 9/11 and the destruction of ancient Jerusalem, Brueggemann shows how the prophetic biblical response to that crisis was truth-telling in the face of ideology, grief in the face of denial, and hope in the face of despair. He argues that the same prophetic responses are urgently required from us now if we are to escape the deathliness of denial and despair.

Brueggemann’s Reality, Grief, Hope boldly confronts the dominant forces of our time, taking on principalities and powers that vie for our souls, and calls the church to courageous action.
