Click here Walter Brueggemann at Trinity Institute to see one of the lectures at this year's Trinity Institute, on the topic of "Reading Scripture Through Other Eyes." Well worth a watch! As a pastor I am particularly in agreement that there is a parallel process between moving from a naive reading of Scripture through historical criticism to a second naivete on the one hand and the spiritual journey toward growing into the full stature of Christ on the other. I also think he's right in his answer to the first question posed at the end: this is not intellectualism but "close reading" that can be taught to people, and be transformative for people on both the so-called left and the so-called right.
