From the back cover:
Walter Brueggemann helps the working preacher draw rich and suggestive connections between the Hebrew texts and the challenges of contemporary life. The urgent work of the gospel in our society requires attentive listening to these ancient voices of bold faith, and so Brueggemann brings fresh homiletical attention to the Old Testament, taking readers through Genesis, Exodus, the Prophetic, the Psalms, and the Wisdom traditions.
