And when we take ourselves too seriously, we are grim about the brothers and sisters, especially the dissenting ones, and there will be no health in us and no healing humor (Walter Brueggemann Quotes)
Imagination is a danger thus every totalitarian regime is frightened of the artist. It is the vocation of the prophet to keep alive the ministry of imagination to keep on conjouring and proposing alternative futures to the single one the king wants to urge as the only thinkable one (Walter Brueggemann Quotes)
On the other hand, hope is subversive, for it limits the grandiose pretension of the present, daring to announce that the present to which we have all made commitments is now called into question (Walter Brueggemann Quotes)
Buechner uses words with such transformative power that any comment on them is like the moon palely reflecting the sun (Walter Brueggemann Quotes)
The gospel is fiction when judged by the empire, but the empire is fiction when judged by the gospel (Walter Brueggemann Quotes)
The task of prophetic ministry is to nurture, nourish, and evoke a consciousness and perception alternative to the consciousness and perception of the dominant culture around us (Walter Brueggemann Quotes)
