DESCRIPTION

In A Social Reading of the Old Testament author Walter Brueggeman raises a variety of contemporary and intriguing questions on the relation of society and text in the Old Testament. Some of the topics discussed are, the conflictual tension in ancient Israel, the political dimension of mercy, theodicy, violence, horses and chariots and the cry to God of the oppressed and God's response. He opens to a variety of readers a compelling picture of subversive paradigm and social possibility in the Hebrew Bible.
