Truth and Hope

More about the book

Engaging with themes of truth and hope, this collection of essays by Walter Brueggemann addresses contemporary issues like fake news and societal deception through the lens of biblical teachings. Edited by Louis Stulman, the essays emphasize the prophetic tradition, particularly that of Jeremiah, which focuses on truth-telling as a means to expose societal falseness. Brueggemann argues that genuine hope emerges only after confronting and unmasking corrupt systems, highlighting the faithfulness of God in creating a new way forward.
