Walter Brueggemann is one of the most creative, provocative and practical Old Testament theologians of recent decades. His numerous commentaries on Old Testament books (including Genesis, Isaiah and Jeremiah), as well as a major Theology of the Old Testament and other contributions to biblical and theological studies are always full on insights into the biblical text and its message for us today. He has also contributed in the areas of biblical theology and hermeneutics and all his work has a strong ethical, especially social and political, element. Until his retirement, Brueggemann was William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary.

James Alison (1959-), author and international speaker, is a Roman Catholic priest who was brought up in an evangelical Anglican home (son of a Conservative MP, Michael Alison, baptised as an infant by John Stott).
I discovered James Alison’s work through my research in relation to sexuality and he is a writer whose books I always buy as he is such a stimulating and provocative thinker. Although he has written widely in relation to homosexuality as a gay Catholic priest his work covers a much greater range of subjects, his doctoral work being on the doctrine of original sin. All of his writing is shaped by the thought of Rene Girard which he creatively relates to Christian theology and ethics, often producing fascinating insights into biblical texts.
His main areas of writing are Girard, spirituality, sexuality and sin.
