Tenacious Solidarity features essays and new writings from 2014 to
2018. As all of Walter Brueggemann's writing is, the chapters are
deeply biblical while also concerned with the identities,
practices, and obligations of religious communities in contemporary
contexts within the United States. Brueggemann consistently
attempts to weave the biblical texts--vested as they are with the
authority of a storyteller--into the deep contours of his readers'
experiences, in order to foster a tenacious solidarity that might
overcome both the psychic numbness cultivated by a 24-hour news
cycle as well as the anxious possessiveness nurtured by so many
privatized spiritualities. Brueggemann brings the "transformative
potential" of the biblical texts to bear on critical contemporary
contexts, including but not limited to economic disparities, racial
injustice and white supremacy, climate and care for creation, and
the power of memory and mentoring. He delves deeply in the Psalms,
which he says, "provides a foundational script for living into the
fullest and deepest realities of human existence." And he draws
from the Prophets his foundational concept of totalism, which he
defines as "automated fragmentation of social life such that we
habitually and callously disregard our relations with others."
