Summary: This COULD be good as one's intro to Brueggemann
Review: Although the first section moves just a little slow for the lay reader (he speaks of pyschological backgrounds in family relationships), the rest of the book is typical profundity as one would expect from Brueggemann.In fact, this book is probbaly the most quotable Brueggemann to date (I've read about a dozen of his books). Among the discussions: *The "dialectic" between PRAISE and COMPLAINT in the Christian life; *The concept of "othering" as the risky, demanding, dynamic process of relating to one who is not us; *Approaching God as EROS
