While conservative interpreters might believe that prophets were predictors and progressives believe the prophets to be simply social advocates, Walter Brueggemann argues that the prophets were emancipated imaginers of alternative. Emancipated from the dominant thinking of their societies, the prophets imagined an alternative reality and invited listeners to join them in their commitment to that new reality.

In this collection of studies, popular biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann explores the Major Prophets, the Minor Prophets, and the prophets of the Persian Age. By highlighting the common themes of judgment and hope found in the prophets messages, Brueggemann invites readers to consider what those messages mean for us today. Questions for reflection conclude each chapter. From Judgment to Hope is suitable for individual or group study.

Description Perfect for groups or self-reflection, Sabbath as Resistance offers a transformative vision of the wholeness God intends, giving world-weary Christians a glimpse of a more fulfilling and simpler life through Sabbath observance. Brueggemann motivates readers to consider situations in their lives where they need to either interrupt silence or be part of the problem, convincing us that God is active and wanting us to act for justice. Brueggemann lays out how we as Christians may reengage our materiality for the common good. Materiality as Resistance serves as a manifesto of Walter Brueggemann’s most important work and as an engaging call to action. It is perfect for group study. In Isaiah 9:6, a divine utterance is given to us using four royal titles- Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. This book explores each and how Jesus fulfilled the title. This powerful devotional by best- selling author Walter Brueggemann includes daily reflections on the Scriptures and stories of Advent in order to invite us to see beyond the world's faux extravagance and realize the true feast laid out before us. Walter Brueggemann's thought-provoking reflections for the season of Lent invite us to consider the challenging, beautiful life that comes with walking the way of grace.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Pastors and teachers looking for resources for a Christian education series will welcome this book. It is perfect for a six or eight-week adult Bible study…. This is a very user-friendly guide to the prophets, and for that reason alone it is valuable for congregations. Yet, this is not its only importance. Readers who take the prophets seriously as guides to faithful living will find here rich reflections for contemporary life."

―The Presbyterian Outlook

4.0 out of 5 stars The prophets have a story to tell
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2019
Walter Brueggemann employs his preeminent status as a biblical scholar and his singular genius as master interpreter of the Hebrew Scriptures to open the eyes of his readers to the possibility that the Hebrew prophets in scripture were telling a unified story of sin, punishment, and restoration in relation to God's people, Israel. Rather than defaulting to the traditional and customary interpretations of the Hebrew prophets as predictors of the future or fierce advocates of social justice, the author proposes that all fifteen books of prophecy in the first testament are bound by the unity of a common narrative: judgment to hope.

In a relatively brief volume, Brueggemann lays out a compelling case for the interconnectedness of the prophets' message over the course of multiple centuries and numerous national tragedies for the divided kingdom: Judah and Israel. The author includes a comparative timeline for each separate prophet, an explanation of the prohets' message and intended audience, and a description of the how each particular prophet meshes with the rest to create a cohesive overall story of judgment and hope for the people of God.

I was pleased with the book and encouraged by Brueggemann's helpful correlation of the judgment and hope theme to contemporary concerns and challenges for today's religious person and student of scripture.

2.0 out of 5 stars Superficial
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2023
This is a very short book, the main text is 85 pages. It is well written but gives a very cursory look at the prophets. Anyone who has done any kind of study of the prophets, either collectively or individually, will not find any additional value in this small book.
