Brueggemann, God, and the seduction of images

[RamistThomist]

Understanding that Walter Brueggeman has his own problems, I have found much of his Old Testament study to be quite helpful, particularly this:

“The emancipatory gift of YHWH to Israel is contrasted with all the seductions of images. The memory of the exodus concerns the God of freedom who frees.”
