Walter Brueggemann – A Gospel of Hope [Feature Review]

A Feature Review of 
 

A Gospel of Hope

Although Walter Brueggemann is best known as an Old Testament scholar, his newest book may surprise some readers with its emphasis on Jesus.

His own deep, living faith flows through his writing and speaking. He inspires me.

The gospel in the title of this slim volume is the good news Jesus proclaimed and lived: we can trust God’s love. We needn’t be afraid to follow Jesus today into the suffering of the world. God is with us and has our back, even though we can expect resistance from “Pharaoh” (the author’s shorthand for domination systems of society).
