In this powerful book Walter Brueggemann goes right after the sacred creeds of toxic right-wing politics, challenging each hollow affirmation with "ancient echoes," the vibrant counter-testimony of scripture. In Brueggemann's hands, the words of the Bible leap to life and provide razor-sharp alternative ways of thinking, believing, and living. Every rabbi and minister who hopes to free the pulpit to engage the culture with vigor should read this book. --Thomas G. Long, Bandy Professor Emeritus of Preaching, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
