These exciting studies on the first five books of the Bible cover a wide range of topics, challenging the reader to confront the issues of faithfulness, responsiblity, and justice in an ever-changing world. Brueggemann sets the issues of praise and lament, grace and duty, truth and power in new frames of reference that call for a response. His creative use of metaphor and imagination invites the reader to encounter afresh in these biblical texts God's call and the work of justice.
