In this new book Brueggemann incisively probes our society-in-crisis from the ground up.

At the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting in 1917, he offered a peace resolution in opposition to the pro-war wing of his denomination. The resolution was easily defeated by the pro-war members, but he continued to espouse his anti-war views and in 1920 published The God of War.
