Walter Brueggemann on Communal Temptation - Progressive (1 Corinthians 10:13)

Source: Walter Brueggemann43 words

"Temptation is not merely individual moral failure but includes systemic seductions—idolatry of empire, worship of wealth, complicity with injustice. The 'way of escape' may be prophetic resistance, communal accountability, choosing solidarity over safety. We face temptation together." — Walter Brueggemann. Progressive: systemic temptation.
