Reviews for Alternative to the Bread of Affliction

"""In Alternative to the Bread of Affliction, readers will find nourishment for the work of preaching in eye-opening interpretations of biblical texts. They will engage with commentary on ancient passages that illuminate contemporary sufferings. They will experience biblical stories and poems that call us from death into radiant life. All this from Walter Brueggemann, poet, preacher, and biblical interpreter of unmatchable power."" --Kathleen M. O'Connor, professor emerita of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary ""For many years, Walter Brueggemann has been an exegete-poet-prophet-preacher extraordinaire. This book of sermons confirms again the revelation of his homiletical gifts for the life of the church. In his distinct bold style and voice, he reminds every reader that the gospel is still good news! His words will not feed readers the bread of affliction but rather break open the eternal bread of life."" --Luke A.
