I'm really looking forward to finally reading something by Breuggemann again-- he seems to be a quality scholar, at the same time that he is passionate about his subject. While he and NT Wright seem to disagree on some particular points at least, I find them to be very complementary-- I think my own theological thought (not that I'm ever very systematic about it-- but then again, I don't think either of them would be considered a systematic theologian) these days is largely the product of the bits and pieces I've gotten from these two scholars. Having gone to a Christian high school and grown up in a church and having done confirmation, I've got the basics of systematic theology-- I definitely prefer Wright and Breuggemann, though, or anything that is more about encountering a text and trying to deal with it on its own terms, rather than trying to build a final, perfect box that everything will fit in. Haha, well, not to turn this into an all out criticism of systematic theology-- fans of Wright and Breuggemann may be tempted to do so, but we all build boxes as part of our engagement with the world. It's more a matter of not elevating the boxes to something foundational.

OK, anyway, looking forward to this book. :)
