The Fig Tree Revolution

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Through a fresh study of the book of Esther joined together with the experiences of his long years of organizing, Mefford teaches us how to truly be people of Christian faith. He challenges Christian leaders who strive to advocate for justice to examine human suffering from the perspective of those most impacted by evil through an incarnational presence. Such leadership is never easy for those shaped by the institutional church because of its comfortable detachment. In response to the serious systemic ills of the world he calls us to be fearless people of faith, and shows us how. His witness to God’s justice stings sometimes, but always sounds true to the Gospel.”
