As Though We Were Dreaming

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“For anyone interested in the overcoming of conventional dichotomies in theology, Ruckhaus' book is essential reading. With a 'Brueggemanesque' postmodern approach, the author refreshingly brings together liturgy and economic justice, critical scholarship and personal experience, Israelite religion and Christian worship, and literary analysis and theological vision. Ruckhaus' interpretation of the Byzantine Lenten 'psalms of ascent' is rooted in both the concreteness of human experience and openness to the real presence of the Other other.”
