Synopsis "Truth-Telling as Subversive Obedience "

"Those who serve as truth-tellers in the church, like those who listen to the truth-telling in the church, are a mix of yearning and fearfulness, of receptiveness and collusion. In the end, the work of truth-telling is not to offer a new package of certitudes that displaces old certitudes. This truth to be uttered and acted, rather, is the enactment and conveyance of this Person who is truth, so that truth comes as bodily fidelity that stays reliably present to the pain of the world." --from the Preface Endorsements: "Although Truth-Telling as Subversive Obedience addresses preachers, it also calls urgently to anyone who desires to hear and do God's word. With characteristic eloquence, Brueggemann dares us to believe in new life amidst the sexual, financial, and political lies that surround us. He finds hope in the truth coursing through Scriptures and invites us to become courageous, obedient speakers of truth 'because our lives depend on it.'" -Kathleen M. O'Connor Columbia Theological Seminary "The provocative essays in this volume are yet another reminder that no one prods the consciences of preachers more effectively, discomfortingly, and profoundly than Walter Brueggemann. With imagination, resolve, and a comprehensive grasp of the issues, Brueggemann summons us once again to have the courage to speak 'truth that subverts our best self-deceiving certitudes.'" -Thomas G. Long Candler School of Theology "Walter Brueggemann has inspired more pastors and congregations than anyone else of our generation. And he continues this good work in a compelling collection of essays and sermons rooted deeply in the text and in prophetic imagination. Truth-Telling as Subversive Obedience trades in a sort of primal candor that dares to confront our most cherished conventions. Perhaps even more strikingly, this little book creates space for the loving embrace of God. Extraordinary stuff that we have come to depend on!" -Louis Stulman University of Findlay "The persuasion of a book that dares to address 'truth-telling' about God, the world, and humankind, rests largely on its author's capacity to discern and communicate clearly truths that may be easily overlooked or minimized by others. In this collection of articles . . . Walter Brueggemann demonstrates yet again his prescient theological skills. For those who linger over Pilate's question to Jesus, What is truth?, Brueggemann's contention that truth about God is relentlessly connected to the pain of this world is and remains an imperative in search of a faithful response." -Samuel E. Balentine Union Presbyterian Seminary Author Biography: Walter Brueggemann is William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament Emeritus at Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia. He is past President of the Society of Biblical Literature and the author of numerous books, including David and His Theologian, Praying the Psalms, A Pathway of Interpretation, and Ichabod toward Home.

Walter Brueggemann es, sin duda, uno de los intérpretes bíblicos más influyentes de nuestro tiempo. Es autor de más de cien libros y numerosos artículos académicos. Ha sido un orador muy solicitado.

Brueggemann nació en Tilden, Nebraska, en 1933. A menudo habla de la influencia de su padre, un pastor evangélico alemán. Brueggemann asistió al Elmhurst College , donde se graduó en 1955 con una licenciatura en Artes. Posteriormente, ingresó al Seminario Teológico Eden , donde obtuvo una licenciatura en Teología (equivalente a la Maestría en Divinidad actual) en 1958. Completó su formación teológica formal en el Seminario Teológico Union en 1961, donde obtuvo el doctorado en Teología bajo la tutela principal de James Muilenburg. Mientras enseñaba en Eden, obtuvo un doctorado en educación en la Universidad de San Luis .

Brueggemann ha ejercido como docente en dos instituciones a lo largo de su carrera: el Seminario Teológico Eden (1961-1986) y el Seminario Teológico de Columbia (1986-2003). Actualmente es profesor emérito William Marcellus McPheeters de Antiguo Testamento en Columbia.

El método principal de Brueggemann para analizar el texto es la crítica retórica. Para Brueggemann, las palabras son importantes, y esto se evidencia al escucharlo hablar, ya que se detiene en palabras de particular significado teológico. Su obra cumbre, Teología del Antiguo Testamento (1997), ofrece una perspectiva retórico-crítica del Antiguo Testamento desde la perspectiva del testimonio, la controversia y la defensa.

Muchos conocen a Brueggemann a través de su libro « La imaginación profética» , publicado originalmente en 1978. Sin embargo, su obra más conocida es, quizás, la relacionada con los Salmos. Numerosos líderes religiosos han utilizado su « El mensaje de los Salmos» como una nueva forma de organizar y comprender los Salmos. Lleva escribiendo sobre ellos desde 1982 y continúa haciéndolo hasta el día de hoy con un comentario publicado en 2014.

Los líderes religiosos encuentran un aliado en Brueggemann, ministro ordenado de la Iglesia Unida de Cristo. Su obra inspira, motiva y conmueve, y a menudo dedica tiempo a interactuar personalmente con aquellos a quienes se dirige en grandes eventos.

Es un seguidor de los St. Louis Cardinals/Browns desde hace mucho tiempo.
