Redescribing Reality by Walter Brueggemann
Writing with clergy and students in mind, Walter Brueggemann provides guidance for interpreting Old Testament texts. He offers both advice for the interpreter as well as examples of working with different sorts of passages: from narratives, prophecies and Psalms. He also demonstrates how to work thematically, drawing together threads from different traditions. His goal is to work through the rhetoric of these passages to reach toward theological interpretation. These investigations indicate Brueggemann's conviction that the process of moving from text to interpretive outcome is an artistic enterprise that can be learned and practised.
Walter Brueggemann is one of the worldʼs leading scholars in the field of Biblical Interpretation and Old Testament Studies. He is former William Marcellus McPheeters professor of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary, from where he retired in the early 2000s. He has authored more than 58 books, hundreds of articles, and several commentaries on books of the Bible.
