walter bruegemann has died aged 92, i found his work incredibly inspiring. the trilogy on imagination – prophetic imagination, hopeful imagination and postmodern imagination are an amazing series. the prophetic imagination is a book that influenced me as much as any other i think. i did a search on my blog to see where i had referenced walt and quite a bit came up!
on poets and prophets has a good few quotes from hopeful and prophetic imagination
grief and amazement was grace inspired by him
i love is chapters on jesus on that theme – grief and amazement in the life of jesus
and in a series i did on newness he features at least twice in riffing on newness 4: refounding and riffing on newness 7: imagination, grief and amazement
i remember presenting in 2011 at breakout on my take on pioneer ministry and the slide above is from that presentation. he took part of course in sone emergent events in the usa. sadly i never met him in person. but thank you walter- rest in peace. you were a gift that will keep giving for a long time…
