Publisher's Description
Against the easy assurance of a too-enculturated religion, Walter Brueggemann refocuses the preaching task around the decentering, destabilizing, always risky Word that confronts us in Scripture - if we have the courage to hear. These powerful essays, previously available only in journals, are here combined with a newly composed preface and introduction. Includes a foreword from the Reverend William H. Willimon.

“We preachers and hermeneuts can rejoice at this compilation of some of the best of Brueggemann on preaching. . . . While he reads widely and is in knowledgeable, respectful conversation with a wide range of scholars, he always privileges the biblical text over any other. His reports of his skirmishes with Scripture never fail to stoke the imaginations of us preachers.”
