You Don't Have to Give Up the Bible in Pursuit of Justice
Today's justice movements are often dominated by secular worldviews. But what if the Bible provides Christians with an even more compelling vision for a just and flourishing society? In Redeeming Justice, Christina Crenshaw integrates biblical analysis, examples from the present and historic church, and stories from her own life to provide a helpful model for doing justice work within a solidly orthodox and biblical worldview. This accessible guide will help you- replace narrow, secular prescriptions for societal change with a more holistic, inspiring, and biblical vision for transformation
- find encouragement in examples of biblical justice work drawn from centuries of Christian practice
- apply faith-based strategies for addressing societal issues such as human trafficking, border conflicts, homelessness, child hunger, and other avenues of justice work
As you are reminded that the church, though imperfect, remains God's chosen instrument for advancing His plan of love and redemption, you will be inspired to pursue justice not as the world dictates, but as the Word of God calls you.
