Main Presenter
Walter Brueggemann is one of the most significant voices in Biblical scholarship today, and he is an insightful and energetic lecturer. The author of more than 58 books, hundreds of articles, and several commentaries on books of the Bible, Brueggemann enthralls audiences with his passion and scholarship. In his hands, the prophets challenge today’s church as directly as today’s pundits and preachers, the sages’ words still ring true, and the poets still sing. Brueggemann was professor of Old Testament and Dean at Eden Theological Seminary from 1968 until 1982. He then served as the William Marcellus McPheeters professor of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta from 1986 until his retirement in 2003, and currently resides in Cincinnati, Ohio.
