Scholarship Shaped By Rhetoric And Liberation
- Brueggemann credits James Muilenburg and liberation hermeneutics for shaping his rhetorical and political reading of scripture.
- He links biblical rhetoric with pastoral concerns, aiming scholarship at church leaders and communities.

- The slaves' cry in Exodus interrupts Pharaoh's absolute rule and initiates divine action.
- Brueggemann sees the cry as the narrative's initiating movement that draws God into emancipation.

- God’s name “I am who I am” preserves divine freedom and resists human domestication.
- Brueggemann argues the name's meaning will be shaped by the Exodus story itself, tying identity to action.
