James Schwarzlose, former Eden Seminary student, describes the "essence" of a young Walt Brueggemann

This moving essay by one who knows personal suffering but has found hope in his Christian faith tradition is profoundly moving. His ability to describe the essence of Professor Walt Brueggemann, without remembering a lot of the content, reveals a deep sensitivity. His reflections also reveal how little Walt (now Walter to many of us) has changed over the years.

So good to stir up memories, like riding to City Hospital in Jim's VW for our fieldwork. Also to recall the impact that Walt has made on son many of us. I was but one of his students, but he calls me by name whenever I'm in his presence. I've ordered your book!

It is great to see my Eden classmate Jim and learn of his journey.

Thanks for the interview with a friend I've not seen in decades. Jim mentioned City Hospital - I remember several of us squeezing into Jims VW to go to our fieldwork there. It brought back happy memories of Walt. I was but one of his students, but he always remembers my name on those rare occasions that we see one-another.
