Subject: In this powerful book, Walter Brueggemann moves the discussion of Old Testament theology beyond the dominant models of previous generations. Brueggemann focuses on the metaphor and imagery of the courtroom trial in order to regard the theological substance of the Old Testament as a series of claims asserted for Yahweh, the God of Israel. This provides a context that attends to pluralism in every dimension of the interpretive process and suggests links to the plurality of voices of our time. ~ Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Theology-Old-Testament-Testimony-Advocacy-ebook/dp/B00APJRWUC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=450NEQTLLKFT&keywords=9780800637651&qid=1669660683&sprefix=9780801030895%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-1
