In this timely and provocative work, Walter Brueggemann applies his experience and skills in the area of biblical interpretation to the theme of evangelism. He argues for the importance of considering afresh how the Bible itself thinks and speaks about evangelism, how it enacts the dramatic claims of the "good news." Brueggemann here describes evangelism as a drama in three scenes, concerning (1) God's victory over the forces of chaos and death, (2) the announcement of that victory, and (3) its appropriation by those who hear the announcement. This same dramatic sequence, as he shows, is many time re-enacted in the Bible; the times and circumstances of the re-enactment may differ, but the essential message, as well as the structure of its presentation, remains the same.
Walter Brueggemann is William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament Emeritus at Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia. He has published widely on the Old Testament as well as contemporary hermeneutical reflections, including, from Cascade Books: David and His Theologian (2011), A Pathway of Interpretation (2008), Embracing the Transformation (2014), The Practice of Homefulness (2014), Truth-Telling as Subversive Obedience (2011), Virus as a Summons to Faith (2020), A Wilderness Zone (2021), and Resisting Denial, Refusing Despair (2022).
