Ichabod Toward Home
Cód:

In todays confused and confusing world, it is good to be shown once more that God is never absent. That is the heartening message of Ichabod toward Home. In this volume one of our most respected biblical scholars explores the nature of Gods glory, using the engaging story of the ark of the covenant to illuminate the meaning of Gods presence -- not only for the ancient Israelites but for the whole world.Offering a unique entry into Old Testament theology, Walter Brueggemann examines 1 Samuel 4-6, the biblical text in which the ark of God is captured by the Philistines, seen to be a dangerous threat, and finally returned to Israel. In looking anew at what this story reveals about Gods glory -- or kabod, from which the name Ichabod derives -- Brueggemann builds a powerful new theology of Gods sovereignty.Additionally, Brueggemann demonstrates that this ancient story of the ark has profound relevance today. The three-day story of the arks capture, detention, and return is transposed, first, into the three-day Christian story of Easter and, second, into the three days of the modern consumer weekend. In a provocative contemporary application of Old Testament theology, Brueggemann shows that the Ark narrative, in its rendering of Gods glory, strongly contradicts the dominant narrative of our own culture, with its strident emphasis on self-indulgence, narcissism, and self-sufficiency.
