Church Anew was honored to host Walter Brueggemann as our featured columnist from 2020 through 2025. May this archive of his powerful and reflective writings continue to inspire, energize, guide, and comfort you.
In the Face of Nihilism
Thus I judge that the pastors, preachers, and teachers of the church have a distinct possibility and wondrous opportunity to articulate a world other than the one subject to the force of the Nihil.
Saved in and through Weakness
Such an accent on the power of God, moreover, has been a long-running seduction for the church, as we have imagined the power of God to be not unlike the worldly power of mighty empires and imperial rulers. Insofar as the church has been seduced in this regard, attentiveness to the “weakness of God” may be a deep and significant corrective.
