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.
