Countering Pharaoh’s Production-Consumer Society To-day

Monday 27 January 2014

We plan to watch a short session on DVD of Walter Brueggemann speaking about the parallels between the journey undertaken by the Israelites from slavery to freedom and our own journey of faith in present times. Brueggemann is an Old Testament scholar and retired professor of Columbia Theological Seminary. He has written more than 50 books, including The Prophetic Imagination, the Bible Makes Sense, and Truth Speaks to Power.... After the DVD, we intend to spend the rest of the time in discussion.
