This week I'm preaching on the topic of justice. It is a wide topic and one that touches on a great many issues. So for those of you who read my blog and listen to my sermon (currently only available live and in person at First Presbyterian, White Bear Lake) know that the sermon will necessarily be limited in its scope. The justice issue that the sermon will touch on is extreme poverty and the call of God for us to live justly in the light of that issue.
Some of my favorite books on justice are...
The Irresistable Revolution - Shane Claiborne (easy to read and told as a story)
The Hole in Our Gospel - Rich Stearns (a challenge for the President of World Vision)
Just Courage - Gary Haugen (International Justice Mission)
Evil and the Justice of God - NT Wright (a theological but readable book on the subject)
Exclusion and Embrace - Miroslav Volf (theologically weighty, worth the read)
Websites I read...
As Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, "We are not simply to bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, but we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself."
