The Word Militant, paperback edition: Preaching a Decentering Word

by Walter Brueggemann

Overview

Against the easy assurance of a too-enculturated religion, Walter Brueggemann refocuses the preaching task around the decentering, destabilizing, always risky Word that confronts us in Scripture - if we have the courage to hear. These powerful essays,previously available only in journals, are here combined with anewly composed preface and introduction. Includes a forewordfrom the Reverend William H. Willimon.
