When Walter Brueggemann asserts that the Bible is “endlessly strange and new”, he was hinting at the complexity that is involved within any attempt to interpret the scripture. He believes that the text perennially proves to be beyond our understanding and explanation of interpretation which is restricted by the limitations of human faculties. Moreover, he advocates that the Bible is the existing testimony to the word of God and thus it is only understandable that it cannot be easily tamed and molded as per the narrow horizons of human interpretations.
