This week Jay & Erin review another Walter Brueggmann book, Chosen? - Reading the Bible Amidst the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. For those who desire a good starting point on how to faithfully read Scripture, uphold the life or Christ, and negotiate the media and current geo-politics, Brueggmann's short work offers invaluable insight that is well worth the read.
