Description
What is just? It’s a question that lurks everywhere in life, yet the answer is elusive.
Isabelle Hamley's response is to invite us on an exhilarating journey through Scripture. God’s very good creation quickly becomes the world as we know it: broken, unequal and violent. Yet, the call for the people of God to reflect God’s own justice and (its constant companion) mercy sounds like a steady drumbeat, impossible to ignore.
How can we as churches, communities and individual Christians seek and practice justice when we are enmeshed in such a broken world? How might we participate in God’s renewal of creation? The Bible tells of God inviting people just like us to join his mission of transformation!
Offering practical encouragement, Justice in a Broken World brilliantly weaves together biblical texts, diverse voices, contemporary stories, and personal and group meditations to reveal liberating and imaginative ways in which me may grow in discipleship – and so more fully reflect the justice, mercy and compassion of Christ in our lives.
