Reading the Bible with the Damned

Christian Century,  May 30, 2006  by Walter Brueggemann

Reading the Bible with the Damned. By Bob Ekblad. (Westminster John Knox, 208 pp., $17.95 paperback.) Ekblad practices ministry among the marginalized and disinherited. He brings the biblical text to that work; but he also reads back from his ministry to the text. In moving both ways between text and ministry, he raises difficult and large questions that require faith in response. The book breaks apart our usual categories of interpretation and lets texts speak afresh.

Selected by Walter Brueggemann, professor emeritus at Columbia Theological Seminary.
