Walter Brueggemann Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

Co pro nás dnes znamená přikázání „světit den odpočinku“? Není to jen fráze z jiného věku? Walter Brueggemann ukazuje, že právě v době nepřetržitého provozu, tlaku na výkon a všeobecného vyčerpání má šabat nečekanou sílu. Připomíná biblický kontrast mezi zotročujícím faraonským režimem roboty bez oddechu a Božím světem, kde čas je darem a život se nežije v hrůze z nedostatku a honbě za blahobytem, ale v důvěře v laskavou péči Stvořitele o jeho stvoření. Den odpočinku nás učí čelit strachu, vzdorovat logice trhu a znovu zakoušet svobodu, která nám byla darována.

Preeminent biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann explores the book of Jeremiah as a unique homiletic experiment, challenging us to consider its canonical shape as a guide for sermon structure. He proposes that Jeremiah can be seen as a long sermonic reflection on the traumatic events leading to the exile of Judah, prompting critical questions about God's faithfulness, punishment, and the future. This exploration extends to the crucifixion of Jesus and the displacement of his followers, paralleling modern American cultural dislocation that challenges notions of exceptionalism. Brueggemann connects these themes to the experiences of ancient Israel following Jerusalem's destruction, as articulated in Jeremiah. He analyzes the book's organization—Introduction, Body, and Conclusion—drawing parallels to Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Resurrection Sunday. The preacher's role mirrors that of the prophet, tasked with both destruction and renewal. Brueggemann emphasizes that preaching must be honest and transparent, addressing God's requirements and proclaiming His past and future actions without resorting to cover-ups. This approach invites deeper engagement with the text and its implications for contemporary faith and practice.

In Isaiah 9:6, a divine utterance is given to us using four royal titles Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. "Names for the Messiah" ponders each title and how the people understood it then, how Jesus did or did not fulfill the title, and how Christians interpret Jesus as representative of that title. Christians have claimed from the beginning that Jesus was the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament. In this study, best-selling author Walter Brueggemann tackles the questions: What were these expectations? and Did Jesus fulfill them? "

Přední americký biblista, autor řady komentářů ke starozákonním knihám a svého opakovaně vydávaného díla Teologie Starého zákona, shrnuje v této publikaci předpoklady pro dialog dnešního člověka s dějinným biblickým odkazem. Upozorňuje na doznívající vliv osvícenství, které důrazem na autoritu rozumu a na ideál objektivity oslabovalo sdělnost biblické zvěsti. Ta se znovu zaskví, když Bibli pojmeme jako odvážný alternativní výklad světa, který připomene opomíjené prvky lidské existence. Odtud pak autor formuluje nově nejen postavení církve ve světě, ale i zcela konkrétní závěry pro ty, jejichž úkolem je zpřístupňovat porozumění biblickým textům dnešním posluchačům či čtenářům.
