Shape for Old Testament theology II : embrace of pain -- Rhetoric of hurt and hope : ethics odd and crucial -- Bodied faith and body politic -- Convergence in recent Old Testament theologies -- Futures in Old Testament theology -- Old Testament theology as a particular conversation : adjudication of Israel's sociotheological alternatives -- Crisis and promise of presence in Israel -- Shattered transcendence? Exile and restoration -- Genesis 50:15-21 : a theological exploration -- 1 Samuel 1 : a sense of a beginning -- 2 Samuel 21-24 : an appendix of deconstruction? -- Unity and Dynamic in the Isaiah tradition -- Epistemological crisis of Israel's two histories (Jeremiah 9:22-23) -- "Uncared for" now cared for (Jeremiah 30:12-17) : a methodological consideration.

Subject: In these essays, Walter Brueggemann addresses the necessity for thinking about the shape and structure of Old Testament theology-and for the impact such thinking can have on the larger issues of contemporary life. Brueggemann draws on the work of persons from all disciplines and incorporates them in a seminal way in his theology. The work of persons in theology, psychology, the social sciences, politics, and the like often provides heuristic possibilities and even basic models for talking about the Old Testament. The Old Testament is seen to be something that has intelligible and significant worldly connections. - Publisher.
