Product Details
Theology of the Old Testament: Testimony, Dispute, Advocacy is a monumental work by Walter Brueggemann that examines Old Testament theology in new and exciting ways.
M. Daniel Carroll R., Professor of Old Testament at Denver Seminary says, "From the immensely creative pen of Walter Brueggemann comes this provocative approach to Old Testament theology. This well-known scholar has been known for weaving his textual studies with insights from a variety of disciplines and for striving to make his work relevant to the pressing issues of modern life. This book is another exemplary model of those commitments."

Stephen D. Lowe, Ph.D. of Trinity College and Seminary says, "Brueggemann's work is exquisitely written, appropriately nuanced, fortified with ample notes, where warranted, and substantiated with sound exegesis. Although he offers his work as a significant contribution to the existing literature of biblical theology, and as a way to counter some of the less than helpful previous approaches, his volume will certainly be appreciated by Christian educators because of the obvious implications that follow from his explication of the model of testimony (witness)."

About the Author
Walter Brueggemann, through his teaching, lecturing, and writing, has effectively demonstrated the significance of the Old Testament for our fractured world today. Recognized as the preeminent interpreter of the ancient texts in relation to questions posed by a variety of academic disciplines, he has shown the way toward a compelling understanding of the major components of the faith and life of ancient Israel, especially its Psalms, the prophets, and the narratives. His award-winning Theology of the Old Testament (Fortress Press, 1997) quickly became a foundational work in the field.
Professor Brueggemann, who holds the Th.D. from Union Seminary, New York, and the Ph.D. from St. Louis University, is William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia. He was previously Professor of Old Testament at Eden Theological Seminary, St. Louis. His many Fortress Press books, including The Threat of Life: Sermons on Pain, Power, and Weakness (1996), exhibit a fecund combination of imaginative power, sound scholarship, and a passion of justice and redemption.
On November 17, 2000 the Association of Theological Booksellers presented Walter Brueggemann and Fortress Press with a Theologos Award for Best General Interest Book 2000 at a dinner in Brueggemann's honor. The award-winning book, Deep Memory, Exuberant Hope: Contested Truth in a Post-Christian World, which was edited by Patrick D. Miller, came out in July 2000.
