Call for Justice

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Call for Justice: From Practice to Theory and Back struck me as a remarkable book in a number of ways. The book uses a clever literary device—an exchange of letters between philosopher Nicholas Wolterstorff and activist Kurt Ver Beek—to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of justice. Both authors are muscular Christians who bring deep faith to courageous activism. You'll learn a lot about the differences between development, relief, and justice; about political, prophetic, and priestly authorities; about how governments fail their citizens; and how justice is the most important thing to those abandoned by society.”
