Compassionate Justice

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“No biblical scholar in the world has searched the Bible more faithfully for its support of the idea of restorative justice than has Christopher Marshall. Nor has any scholar sought more faithfully to promote that justice in the public life of his country. Here, in an intensive study of two of Jesus' parables, he tells me as a fellow Christian that 'justice' in our minds ought to equal 'healing,' not 'punishment.' In the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, it is clear that for Jesus the remedy for human misbehavior is the mercy of healers, not the retribution of punishers.”

Conflicting Agendas

“Written clearly and cogently about the boundary between personal and institutional life, this book is a fine introduction to the ifs, ands, buts of genuine ethical reflection. It is an engaging guide to the meaning of personal 'integrity' in the midst of an organization's struggle to preserve its integrity too.”

Engage! Tools for Ministry in the Community

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Dana Horrell has written a book full of practical suggestions, not only for making a home in a new land, but also for serving the needs of neighbors there. It is a book for mission-minded leaders of mission-dedicated congregations.”

Liberating Nature

Theology

“In a blend of perspectives too long separated among scholars, King and Woodyard have dared to claim that economists, ecologists, and liberation theologians need each other if they are to help our human species understand how all the species of earth need each other. For its framing of this expanded version of liberation theology, the book makes a powerful contribution to our common earthly future.”
