Justice Rising: The Emerging Biblical Vision

Description

Justice Rising connects biblical themes on social justice to our personal lives, to our relationships, to our religious institutions, and to the communities we belong to: local, national, and global. Author John Heagle takes Jesus phrase, “a spring of water gushing up to eternal life” (John 4:14) as a metaphor for the emergence of Gods solidarity in all human relationships and invites us to drink deeply.

Justice Rising invites readers to re-imagine in the light of what the Bible has to teach us about what it means to be human and how to do justice in our wounded world. It provides a virtual scriptural roadmap for a viable future. Its message is one that we can no longer afford to ignore.
