Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Christians involvement in society is not a matter of secondary importance but integral to the life of faith. Robert Kysar makes this case on solid biblical foundations. God's passion for the world, especially where it is most in need of healing, is realized through a compassionate people, God's chosen instruments of love and justice. Kysar views the congregation as an alternative community that, informed by its biblical tradition, can and should be an effective force for social ministry and for changing the consciousness of the nation. I heartily recommend this book for seminary and parish instruction.”
