The Newton Social Science Club was formed in 1886 by six women who wanted meaningful discussion on political, educational, philanthropic, and reform movements of the day. The first meeting was on Jan. 22, 1886. The Club members also enjoyed occasional social affairs. In the spring of 1888 the Club taught sewing to 12 girls in Thompsonville. This was the first step toward the Vacation Industrial School in Nonantum. Regular meetings are still held today.
This volume invites readers to get up close and personal with one of the most respected and beloved writers of the last four decades. Carolyn J. Sharp has transcribed numerous table conversations between Walter Brueggemann and his colleagues and former students, in addition to several of his addresses and sermons from both academic and congregational settings. The result is the essential Brueggemann: readers will learn about his views on scholarship, faith, and the church; get insights into his "contagious charisma," grace, and charity; and appreciate the candid reflections on the fears, uncertainties, and difficulties he faced over the course of his career. Anyone interested in Brueggemann's work and thoughts will be gifted with thought-provoking, inspirational reading from within these pages.
