Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth: Audio Lectures

12 Questions Christians Should Ask About Social Justice

By: Thaddeus J. Williams

Narrated by: Thaddeus J. Williams

God does not suggest, he commands that we do justice.

Social justice is not optional for the Christian. All injustice affects others, so talking about justice that isn't social is like talking about water that isn't wet or a square with no right angles. But the Bible's call to seek justice is not a call to superficial, kneejerk activism. We are not merely commanded to execute justice, but to "truly execute justice." The God who commands us to seek justice is the same God who commands us to "test everything" and "hold fast to what is good."

Drawing from a diverse range of theologians, sociologists, artists, and activists, Thaddeus Williams builds a case that we must be discerning if we are to "truly execute justice" as Scripture commands. Not everything called "social justice" today is compatible with a biblical vision of a better world. The Bible offers hopeful and distinctive answers to deep questions of worship, community, salvation, and knowledge that ought to mark a uniquely Christian pursuit of justice.

In the Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth: Audio Lectures, Williams confronts our religious and political tribalism and challenges readers to discover what the Bible and the example of Jesus have to teach us about justice. He presents a compelling vision of justice for all God's image-bearers that offers hopeful answers to life's biggest questions.

How to be sure we are doing social justice

Depending on God’s word to define justice and show how Christ lived out the optimum life of love and caring. This is the protection from following a noisy well intentioned crowd.
This treatment of reasonable thinking through the issues and data is the best I have heard.
Well done!

A biblical, broad critique of social justice

Each of us who read or listen to this book will find specific comments that we take issue to. I encourage all of us to be aware of the scripture upon which the comments are based. Overall, the book, at least to me, is well balanced. The analysis of tribalism challenges the entire "political" spectrum. We should ALL look to the One who defines both justice and our individual responsibility to correct that injustice. Highly recommended.
