Embracing The Prophets In Contemporary Culture

Walter Brueggemann takes us on a wild ride through the poetic prophecy of the Hebrew Scripture, identifying cultural contexts, putting a framework to Israel’s history, and, most significantly drawing connections between Israel’s sociological, economic and spiritual status and that of our society today.

• Session 1: Moses, Pharaoh, the Prophets and Us
• Session 2: The Prophets as Uncredentialed Purveyors of Covenant
• Session 3: Moral Coherence in a World of Power, Money and Violence
• Session 4: The Shrill Rhetoric that Breaks Denial
• Session 5: The Grief of Loss as Divine Judgment
• Session 6: The Promissory Language that Breaks Despair

This DVD contains all video content needed to conduct this six-session study. Each session begins with a 10-15 minute video presentation by Brueggemann followed by filmed interaction with a diverse small group.
