In the process, any hint of \"\"the common good\"\" among neighbors disappears from the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrueggemann responds to each of these mistaken \"\"truth claims\"\" through the witness of scripture and an insistence upon a common good -- a neighborly practice of generosity, hospitality, forgiveness, justice, compassion, and mercy. The echoes of biblical faith reveal that these right wing \"\"truth claims\"\" contradict our long-running legacy of biblical faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Brueggemann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150649496X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506494968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.04h x 5.08w x 0.44d","brand":"Walter Brueggemann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44133600657663,"sku":"9781506494968","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2bde293-08d8-4b13-8570-b42c8c7a6bca.jpg?v=1687487100","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ancient-echoes-walter-brueggemann-9781506494968","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
