In this valuable volume, 13 scholars from Britain, Denmark, Sweden,
Norway and Germany pay tribute to Walter Brueggemann's outstanding
contribution to Old Testament studies, notably his Theology of the
Old Testament (1997). His own setting is the USA, and it is not
generally recognized how far-reaching his influence has been. This
volume aims to demonstrate that many scholars in diverse locations
have been stimulated by the sweep of his energetic criticism.
Brueggemann himself often speaks of Old Testament scholarship in
terms of centre and margin, meaning thereby the dominant
historical-critical mode of research as against the new types of
analysis that have come into being in the last decades. He
constantly has recourse also to the Hebrew Bible's own tension
between a mainstream centre with its testimony to Yahweh's power,
providence and justice and a margin according to which the deity is
called to account for failures in divine governance. The essays in
Part I are devoted to 'centrist' questions in the main, including
contributions from Rainer Albertz, Katharine Dell, Frederik
Lindstrom, Christoph Bultmann, and Hugh Williamson. The essays in
Part II are from scholars who apply a range of alternative or
'peripheral' interpretative methods, Walter Moberly, Terje
Stordalen, Jill Middlemas, Ulrich Berges, Mark Gray, Else Holt,
Gordon McConville and David Clines.
