Publisher's Description
What does it mean for the twenty-first century church to conceive of itself as a community defined by the covenant of grace? Grace and Global Justice explores the ramifications of this central Christian doctrine for the holistic mission of the church in the context of a globalized world.

“In this important book Richard Gibb provides an illuminating critical survey of key theological explorations of topics relating to political-economic concerns. But unlike so many theological explorations of such matters, that stay mostly on the level of generalization, he demonstrates--in ways that I found extremely insightful--the actual connections of theology to urgent issues of economic justice, globalization, and political authority.”
“What is particularly impressive about this volume is the author's lucid and clear-headed articulation of the light which the doctrine of our participation by grace in God's covenant purposes serves to shed on the nature of our participation in a globalized world. This goes hand in hand with an analysis couched in a scholarly and informed expertise in politics and economics which is admirably free from emotive rhetoric.”
“Globalization is a vital issue for the church today, and Richard Gibb has important things to say about it. Especially prominent in his lucid argument is a concern that the church's approach to issues of global justice be rooted in the theology of grace. This is interdisciplinary thinking from a thoroughly Christian theological base.”
“This book is an excellent scholarly treatise and deserves to be read by everyone interested in making global capitalism more inclusive and socially acceptable.”
