  Jeremiah : Pain And Promise (Reprinted)

  $44.00

  12 Chapters

  Additional Info
  Whether dealing with collective catastrophe or intimate trauma, recovering from emotional and physical hurt is hard. Kathleen O’Connor shows that although Jeremiah’s emotionally wrought language can aggravate readers’ memories of pain, it also documents the ways an ancient community-and the prophet personally-sought to restore their collapsed social world. Both prophet and book provide a traumatized community language to articulate disaster; move self-understanding from delusional security to identity as survivors; constitute individuals as responsible moral agents; portray God as equally afflicted by disaster; and invite a reconstruction of reality.

  Shaking Heaven And Earth

  $34.00

  This book shares the results of a symposium held to honor the work of Walter Brueggemann and Charles Cousar at Columbia Theological Seminary on the occasion of their retirement. Each author and each chapter of the book simultaneously engages the Bible, the church and the world–a three-part engagement that was fundamental to the acclaimed careers of Brueggemann and Cousar. The contributors, who hold similar academic distinction for cutting-edge biblical studies, are able to emulate and even expand upon the honorees’ groundbreaking bodies of work. The book also includes responses by Brueggemann and Cousar to the challenges of traditional biblical interpretation represented here.
