What Hath Justice to Do with Righteousness?

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In a time when justice is often reduced to a political slogan and righteousness is divorced from biblical truth, What Hath Justice to Do with Righteousness? offers a timely and necessary corrective. This book reminds us that justice without righteousness becomes ideology, and righteousness without justice becomes hypocrisy. Scripture does not allow us to choose between the two. God demands both. Jesus embodied both. Charlie Dates stands as one of the most compelling, courageous, and biblically grounded voices of this generation. His clarity, conviction, prophetic voice, and pastoral heart shape every page of this book, making his contribution especially vital in this critical hour for the church and our nation. If we are serious about transforming our cities, strengthening our families, and restoring moral and spiritual order, we must recover the biblical connection between justice and righteousness. This book guides us in doing just that. I commend it to pastors, leaders, and believers who seek to walk in truth and love while serving God in a broken world.”

“I am deeply encouraged to hear the research in this book that backs up my experience that people of diverse ethnicities in our cities are very receptive to the gospel and the church. Not only was I encouraged but I was also helped to know what to do about that receptivity so we can serve and reach more people.”
