I discovered Walter Brueggemann at the Frankurter Bookfair, asking WJK to traslate the Interpretation Series. I read Genesis. An epiphania? I would say yes! After that we are translating Brueggemann as often as it is possible for the Italian market. After von Rad, in my view, Brueggemann! I met you briefly in Philadelphia, 2006, and this is my occasion to say you a warmly: THANKS!
