This is the latest of Walter Brueggemann's books that I have commenced reading. It is the third of a series commenced in 1999 with 'The Covenanted self' followed in 2000 with 'Texts that Linger, Words that Explode'. While one should read in series I have this to read ... so I will.
The sub-title is 'Contested Truth in a Post-Christian World'. It is exactly that. We, I, can no longer speak from a triumphalist position to another. Mind you I don't believe we / I have ever had the right to speak from such a place. There is rarely if ever any respect for the other when we do.
This reflection will continue. I have been so confronted I knew it had to be placed on this page ... NOW.
