Deliver Us

The Walter Brueggemann Library highlights the thought of renowned biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann, with the first volume, Deliver Us, focusing on the exodus narrative. Brueggemann explores how this pivotal story, along with the subsequent giving of the law, lays the foundation for understanding salvation as liberating action for the common good. Drawing from various publications, he emphasizes that genuine salvation requires a transformation of social identities and relationships, linking divine deliverance with the task of obedience inherent in the covenantal laws. Through this thematic exploration, Brueggemann illustrates how the principles of gift and task are central to biblical salvation motifs.
