Walter Brueggemann is one of the most highly regarded Old Testament
scholars of our time; talk-show host Krista Tippett has even called
him "a kind of theological rock star." In this new book Brueggemann
probes the tasks performed by the ancient prophets of Israel and
points out striking correlations between the destruction of
Jerusalem in 587 b.c.e. and the catastrophic crisis of 9/11 in a.d.
2001. Brueggemann identifies a characteristic ideology of
"exceptionalism" - chosenness, entitlement, privilege - which must
be countered by prophetic realism and truth-telling. Denial must
give way to honest grief. And, finally, widespread despair must be
overcome by a buoyant hope. This sequence of ideology-realism,
denial-grief, and despair-hope corresponds to Brueggemann's
unpacking of the books of Jeremiah, Lamentations, and Isaiah.
Thoughtful readers will find provocative fare aplenty in
Brueggemann's Reality, Grief, Hope.
