Brueggemann finds a framework for education in the structure of the Hebrew Bible canon, with its assertion of centre and limit (in the Torah), of challenge (in the prophets), and of inquiry (in the writings). Incorporating the best insights from canonical criticism, Old Testament theology and pedagogical theory, this revised edition is introduced by Amy Erickson of the Iliff School of Theology.
