Publisher's Summary
Silence is a complex matter. It can refer to awe before unutterable holiness, but it can also refer to the coercion where some voices are silenced in the interest of control by the dominant voices. It is the latter silence that Walter Brueggemann explores, urging us to speak up in situations of injustice.
Interrupting Silence illustrates that the Bible is filled with stories where marginalized people break repressive silence and speak against it. Examining how maintaining silence allows the powerful to keep control, Brueggemann motivates listeners to consider situations in their lives where they need to either interrupt silence or be part of the problem, convincing us that God is active and wanting us to act for justice.

Church leaders need to read this work
A very thoughtful and thought provoking exegesis of the Torah and the Christian Scriptures. Walter Brueggemann never fails to bring alive the scriptures, and his exploration of the woman and the judge (Luke 18) highlights his immense skills once again. Church leaders needs to read this book to understand the damage their decisions can exact on their congregation members. Thanks audible for providing this resource.
