Prophetic Imagination

"A classic text in biblical theology—as relevant today as it will be in the future.

In this fortieth-anniversary edition of a classic work by one of the most influential biblical scholars of our time, Walter Brueggemann offers a theological and ethical reading of the Hebrew Bible. He uncovers a vision of God’s community whose language and practices—characterized by lament, protest, and complaint—gave rise to an alternative social order that stands in opposition to contemporary 'totalitarianism.'

Walter Brueggemann is the William Marcellus McPheeters Professor Emeritus of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary and the author of numerous books, including several published by Fortress Press."
