One of the most vivid symbols for the ancient Israelites was the land. The physical source of Israel's fertility and life, as well as a location for the gathering of the covenant people's hopes, were found in the land--a gift, a promise, and a task. Walter Brueggemann explores the evolution of his theme through the main building elements of Israel's traditions in this meticulous approach. The book offers a point of entry to both the Old Testament's theology and some features of the New Testament, while also shedding light on significant contemporary challenges. Brueggemann offers fresh perspectives in this completely revised edition while also updating the discussion, notes, and bibliography.
