"Always provocative and insightful, Walter Brueggemann brilliantly helps us see how the ancient text has stunning implications for how we think and live today. His deep love of God, Scripture, and humanity reverberates throughout this incisive exploration of God’s excessive faithfulness."
- Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College,
"In a society that commoditizes nearly all aspects of life, Walter Brueggemann presses Scripture’s summons to a neighborliness attuned to the well-being of the human community and the ecology of creation. God, Neighbor, Empire sets its compass to truths from ancient Israel, but it is a map for finding our way in a contemporary world where ‘liberty and justice for all’ is often hard to find."
- Samuel E. Balentine, Director of Graduate Studies and Professor of Old Testament, Union Presbyterian Seminary,
