Walter Brueggemann Collection Exhibition – October 6 & 7, Harrington Center Lobby

The C. Benton Kline, Jr. Special Collections and Archives is honored to house the Walter Brueggemann collection. In celebration of this panel discussion, the Archives staff has assembled a small exhibit highlighting materials from the collection. The exhibit is entitled “Prophetically Imaginative, Politically Active, and Prayerfully Poetic,” to highlight documents, images, and a recording in which Brueggemann embodies each of these qualities individually, and often spectacularly, all at once.
