Hope Within History

Within a culture that is presently shaped by values of hopelessness, Walter Brueggemann looks at the biblical text and finds the resources for a hope within history, a hope that challenges hopelessness and dispair. Hope within History describes how individuals and churches can grow even when at odds with their social context, addresses the theological question of how we experience hope in our historical-biblical context, and provides a model for faith development based on our understanding of hope within history as set forth in the biblical narrative.Author: Walter BrueggemannPublisher: Westminster John Knox PressPublished: 04/01/1988Pages: 136Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.41lbsSize: 8.14h x 6.02w x 0.37dISBN: 9780804209182About the AuthorBrueggemann, Walter: - Walter Brueggemann is William Marcellus McPheeters Professor Emeritus of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary.
