God, Neighbor, Empire by Walter Brueggemann
Justice, mercy, and the public good all find meaning in relationship - a relationship dependent upon fidelity, but endlessly open to the betrayals of infidelity. This paradox defines the story of God and Israel in the Old Testament. Yet the arc of this story reaches ever forward.
Readers will find this a rich resource for study and reflection on the God we encounter in the Old Testament and the vibrant and nourishing reality God calls into being through relationship-- John R. Barker -- The Bible Today
In a world whose dominant economic philosophy of empire instills a mentality of scarcity and competition, Brueggemann encourages us to follow the lead of the God of excessive fidelity, who initiates a reality characterized by abundance and neighborliness. -- Matthew Brake -- Reading Religion
