Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Forty years ago Ron Sider introduced us to the insidious and pervasive presence of structural sin that generates so much of the world’s poverty and hunger, but the Christian community has yet to coalesce around a strategy to overcome these dark structural forces. Now, in this compelling and inspiring book, the authors present a persuasive case for advocacy as an essential tool that the Christian community must no longer shy away from. Building on a Trinitarian foundation to describe why followers of Christ must become advocates to the powers and principalities of our day, the authors explain what advocacy looks like, how it can and should be done, what organizations are currently engaged in advocacy, and how we can resolve some major concerns, including how to integrate evangelism into the work of justice advocacy. Well-researched, well-written, and timely, this book will have staying power to inform, educate, and advise the Christian community for many years to come.”

“Any Christian hoping to live faithfully and minister effectively around the world will benefit beyond measure from reading this book and taking its myriad lessons to heart. Moreau, Campbell, and Greener have constructed a thorough, wise, and insightful text. A treasure for mission-minded people who want to be well prepared to face those vexing intercultural issues that are sure to come as soon as one crosses the border.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“For Christians desiring to engage the joys and trials of globalization with inspired, faith-centered, and effective responses, Myers marks the path. Insisting on the essential connection between a deep spiritual relationship with God and commitment to justice in the world, Engaging Globalization calls Christians everywhere to the redemptive task of appreciating the good of secular theories and practices of globalization, while at the same time revising and reforming these theories and practices with our deep awareness of God, our image-bearing humanity, and the purpose God has given us.”
