Despite (or because of) privilege, we live in a
dangerous world of brutality, force, and threat. We are surrounded by
terrorism, war, abuse, exploitation, and death. Evil is rampant, and
fear too easily pervades. Despair overtakes us when we realize that our
lives are not free of danger. Yet we are not always the innocent
victims. We sometimes engage in collusion and complicity. We might
easily be called perpetrators.
Walter Brueggemann, world renowned old testament scholar.
