A readable and powerful call, by a leading Old Testament scholar,
to pray with and through the Psalms. Walter Brueggemann pushes his
readers to recognize the full gamut of passions reflected in the
Psalms: joy and exultation but also disappointment, sorrow, anger,
resentment, even the desire for vengeance. We are invited into a
daring relationship with the God who calls us to pray with honesty.
In the spiritual classic readers are guided into a thoughtful and
prayerful encounter with God through the Psalms. This new edition
includes a thoroughly revised text, new notes and new bibliography.
In Praying the Psalms, Brueggemann carefully guides us away from
the bland colours of contemporary culture and into the ancient and
extreme world of praise and lament. This is essential reading. Ian
Stackhouse Senior Pastor, Guildford Baptist Church
Walter Brueggemann has been one of the leading voices in Hebrew
Bible interpretation for decades. His landmark works in Old
Testament theology have inspired and informed a generation of
students, scholars, and preachers. These chapters gather his recent
addresses and essays, never published before, drawn from all three
parts of the Hebrew Bible-Torah, prophets, and writings-and
addressing the role of the Hebrew canon in the life of the church.
Brueggemann turns his critical erudition to those
practices-prophecy, lament, prayer, faithful imagination, and a
holy economics-that alone may usher in a humane and peaceful future
for our cities and our world, in defiance of the most ruthless
aspects of capitalism, the arrogance of militarism, and the
disciplines of the national security state.
