It's from a decade ago but so much of what he said is even more true in the Trumpian-fascism we are in today. I have yet to hear Brueggemann say much of anything I can find any fault with. I am constantly finding my hand going to the Brueggemann section of my bookcase, a section that grows steadily longer as I find more of his books in used bookstores, online and off. I've even bought a few of them new and as yet uncherished. It might be more of my Catholicity than a Brueggemannian idea, but I like to think the previous owners used them as road guides to heaven.
"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

I'm glad you find this stuff and post it. I'm far too lazy, and it does me a world of good to hear it.
