INSIGHT

Covenant Reframes Personhood

  • Covenant reframes personhood as defined by vulnerable relationships rather than isolated autonomy.
  • Brueggemann argues covenant shifts social power by having the strong be shaped by the weak.
ADVICE

Preach Through Story

  • Tell stories rather than overusing propositional theology to shape selfhood and transformation.
  • Use narrative to convey surprising inversions that propositional logic cannot hold.
INSIGHT

Tension Is A Covenantic Constant

  • Covenant requires both ordered structure and the embrace of pain; it is both conditional and unconditional.
  • Faithful relationships live in the tension between discipline and compassion, unpredictably tilting one way or the other.
