Critics Review
In this powerful book Walter Brueggemann goes right after the sacred creeds of toxic right-wing politics, challenging each hollow affirmation with “ancient echoes,” the vibrant counter-testimony of scripture. In Brueggemann’s hands, the words of the Bible leap to life and provide razor-sharp alternative ways of thinking, believing, and living. Every rabbi and minister who hopes to free the pulpit to engage the culture with vigor should read this book. –Thomas G. Long, Bandy Professor Emeritus of Preaching, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
