Walter Brueggemann

Texts for Preaching, Year A: a Lectionary Commentary Based on the Nrsv Walter Brueggemann

Brief Description: The authors of this commentary offer it not as some final testimony to what the text may or should mean, but as one witness among many to the vitally of the Word in the life of the church. If our comments also offer insights to the preacher as she or he attempts to lead a congregation form "reading" the text to "performing" it our purposes will have been achieved. Marc Notes: Includes index.;[1] Year A / Walter Brueggemann ... [et al.] -- [2] Year B / Walter Brueggemann ... [et al.] -- [3] Year C / Charles B. Cousar ... [et al.].
