Walter Brueggemann 1933-2025

Brueggemann challenged my assumptions and deepened my faith
 
Like many, many others, I owe so much to the writing and scholarship of Walter Brueggemann.
 
The multiple debts we owe to his faithful provocations, his relentless compassion, his prophetic imagination, his lifelong vision of shalom, his tireless critique of institutional and ideological greed, and above all his deep and trustful hope in God who redeems the lost and broken, who reverses the impossible, and who makes resurrection and new beginnings theologically thinkable.
 
I for one give thanks for his ministry of keeping us awake to the voice of God, and alert to God's call of grace and judgement.
