Walter Brueggemann’s Advent Reflections
Posted on: December 5, 2013
Numerous well-known authors have written Advent/Christmas reflections for Alternatives. Check out Walter Brueggemann‘s six-part series for Whose Birthday Is It, Anyway? #1:
GETTING READY FOR GOD
(Also reprinted in Whose Birthday? #22) This is not part of Whose Birthday? 2013 (#25).
He served on Alternative’s Honorary Board of Directors and as a judge for our Sing Justice! Do Justice! hymn competition. He wrote the Foreword for that collection.
Unfamiliar with Dr. Brueggemann?
