This article offers appreciation and reflection on Walter Brueggemann's Prophetic Imagination in this 35th year since its initial publication. The author proposes that the impact of this book, specifically its appeal to so many persons across so many lines of division, has largely to do with how Brueggemann, in explicating what the prophets were up to, tapped into something deeper than the logic of their enterprise as understood along these lines of division. By probing the universal human passions beneath their words and pointing to the inscrutable divine darkness embedded deep in the texts they have left behind, Brueggemann finds a way to grasp these ancient prophets in fresh new terms that, like the prophets themselves, speak beyond themselves. The article concludes with an appreciative comment on this point that reflects both a personal and a Pentecostal perspective.
