Specifically, the justice of God which compassionately rights wrongs is inescapably for all believers to live out — that is the theme of Tim Keller’s recent book, Generous Justice.
This is not a difficult book to read, and you will want to finish it. Keller writes clearly and accessibly about what God’s justice is and how he wants us to practice it individually and as communities of believers. The style suits the readership he is writing for: young people with faith and a desire to help those in need, trying to discover how to connect the two. He provides regular references so the reader can weigh up his interpretive work, and intersperses his prose with quotations which allow the Bible itself to speak. Church leaders and others considering the impact of the social justice movement and whether their own congregations are in line with biblical teaching on this topic would be well advised to read Generous Justice.
