"Jim Brownson's work has come to an end sooner than most of us would have wished. None of us were prepared for him to retire when he did, and none of us expected it to be in the midst of a world turned upside down by a pandemic. We begin with some wonderful insights into who Jim is and how he works from his brother, Jonathan. Then we have three essays meant to really get us thinking about the Bible and little things like the nature of God and the universe. A poem from Jim's daughter Rachel, engaging God and Scripture and the world in a different way, serves as a sort of palate-cleanser. Then we have three essays about Jim's work as academic dean of Western Theological Seminary. The rivers of living water wind into all sorts of unexpected places. I hope that some of what is found here sparks thoughts in new generations of pastors and teachers so that the living water keeps on flowing"-- Provided by publisher.
