An Interview with Walter Brueggemann

John Anderson of Heset we’emet interviews Walter Brueggeman regarding his academic work on the Hebrew Bible.

“The Old Testament invites the church to a narrative reality that is open, pluralistic, and beyond all codifications.  The God to whom it witnesses continues to break open our best ideologies.  In worship the church needs to hear and think through much, much more text, especially the parts we find implausible and unacceptable.  But that depends upon interpretation that takes seriously the complex refusal of the text to be ‘explained.’”
