Biblical Justice for Transforming the World
- How and why should Christians respond to a world crying out for justice?
- What does ‘justice’ mean in Scripture and how does it relate to ‘the gospel’?
- What do biblically-inspired insights on justice require of us today?
The call to do justice, especially for the most vulnerable, is pervasive in the Bible and is integral to proclaiming and living the gospel. ‘Biblical justice’ is searching in its critical analysis of society and wide-ranging in its demands for personal and structural transformation. But it is poorly understood in many churches today. In church and society, and globally, ‘justice’ is a much contested idea, demanding a better dialogue on its meaning, and a fuller commitment to its realisation.
Biblical Justice for Transforming the World is designed both for those working in social justice ministry and for anyone else seeking to relate their faith more effectively to public life. Through readings, conversation and reflection on participant’s experience, we will explore a compelling biblical and theological underpinning for justice work in our contemporary world, with a focus on poverty.
