God in the Fray: A Tribute to Walter Brueggemann
This volume engages the work of Walter
Brueggemann, most of which has been
published by Fortress
Press. The volume centers on the character
of God in the text of the Old Testament as a
site of theological
tension and even ambivalence. Biblical faith
never experiences God as entirely above the
fray but rather as
entangled in history, astonishingly
transformative, and impinged upon by the
voices of the suffering.
Brueggemann's monumental Theology of the
Old Testament addresses this fact with
great theological
insight and rigor, and the internationally
renowned biblical scholars writing here
engage and extend his insights into the
"unsettled Character . . . at the center of
the text."
