A decade ago, Walter Brueggemann called the church to journey
together for the good of our community through neighborliness,
covenanting, and reconstruction. He distilled this challenge to its
most basic issues: Where is the church going? What is its role in
contemporary society? What lessons does it have to offer a world
enmeshed in turbulent times? Published originally in 2010, Journey
to the Common Good spoke to an era defined in large part by
America's efforts to rebuild from an age of terror as it navigated
its way through an economic collapse. Today, the dual crises of the
coronavirus and the disease of racial injustice present daunting
new challenges for the church as it seeks the good of its
neighbors. In a new introduction to this updated edition,
Brueggemann links the wilderness tradition of Exodus to these
current crises, as a framework to help the church navigate this
time of risk and vulnerability and to pursue a genuine social
alternative to the governance of Pharaoh. The answer to the
question of the church's role in society is the same answer God
gave to the Israelites thousands of years ago: love your neighbor
and work for the common good.
