Returning from the Abyss by Walter Brueggemann
In Returning from the Abyss, Walter Brueggemann explores the historical and literary context of the book of Jeremiah, drawing out pivotal moments in the text to illuminate the dual themes of Israel's long walk into, and out of, the trauma and devastation of exile.“As a preacher, I am grateful to Walter Brueggemann for this powerful, accessible, and inspiring Bible study and for reminding me of what it means to be a prophetLiving in an age of pandemic, political polarization, and environmental disaster has made it more challenging than ever to stand before a congregation and offer a word from the Lord. Thank you, Dr. Brueggemann, for bringing us a fresh perspective.”
