Collection of 4 Historical Works by Walter Brueggemann

This product consists of four (4) Historical Works by Walter Brueggemann:

• The Prophetic Imagination (Second Edition): In this challenging and enlightening treatment, Brueggemann traces the lines from the radical vision of Moses to the solidification of royal power in Solomon to the prophetic critique of that power with a new vision of freedom in the prophets.

• David’s Truth in Israel’s Imagination and Memory (Second Edition): In this completely revised edition of a true classic, Brueggemann thoughtfully examines four different sets of David narratives. The tribe, the family, the state, and the assembly each has a different agenda and thus draws a very different portrait of the one who helps define them and is defined by them.

• Hopeful Imagination: Prophetic Voices in Exile: Brueggemann here examines the literature and experience of an era in which Israel’s prophets faced the pastoral responsibility of helping people to enter into exile, to be in exile, and to depart out of exile. He addresses three major prophetic traditions: Jeremiah (the pathos of God), Ezekiel (the holiness of God), and 2 Isaiah (the newness of God).

• The Land: Place as Gift, Promise, and Challenge in Biblical Faith: The land was one of the most vibrant symbols for the people of ancient Israel. In the land—gift, promise, and challenge—was found the physical source of Israel’s fertility and life, and a place for the gathering of the hopes of the covenant people. In this careful treatment, Brueggemann follows the development of his theme through the major blocks of Israel’s traditions.
