Walter Brueggemann, arguably America s leading Old Testament
scholar and theologian, takes us on a wild ride through the poetic
prophecy of the Hebrew Scripture, identifying cultural contexts,
putting a framework to Israel s history, and, most significantly
and times challengingly drawing connections between Israel s
sociological, economic and spiritual status and that of America
today. What was the message of these remarkable poet-prophets in
their own time and place? What is their message for us today? Who
are today s prophetic voices? How has the contemporary church been
coopted by culture? What steps can we take to reclaim the prophetic
message of distributive justice, nonviolence, loss and hope? And
what is "your" role in bringing God s perspective to today s
society? Each of the six sessions begins with a 10-15 minute video
presentation by Walter Brueggemann, followed by filmed interaction
with a diverse small group. This "Participant s Workbook" then
helps your own local small group join the conversation. It includes
all study materials needed by participants an those who lead. Each
participant will need one copy. SOLD SEPARETLY. Embracing the
Prophets in Contemporary Culture DVD."
