Description

Walter Brueggemann's Reality, Grief, Hope Three Urgent Prophetic Tasks is a thought-provoking exploration of our society-in-crisis. Drawing parallels between the aftermath of 9/11 and the destruction of ancient Jerusalem, Brueggemann examines how the prophetic biblical response to crisis can offer truth-telling in the face of ideology, grief in the face of denial, and hope in the face of despair. Brueggemann argues that these same responses are urgently needed today if we are to escape the deathliness of denial and despair. In this book, he 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. Through his incisive analysis, Brueggemann invites readers to re-examine their relationship with truth, hope, and the prophetic voice in a world marked by crisis and uncertainty.
