When asking someone why they hold a political or social justice belief, they often are at a loss to defend it. We need articulate defenders of the biblical justice agenda. As people of faith, more of us should be able to explain why we reach out to others to assist during times of need or at times when they cannot speak up for themselves. This is the example set for us through the ministry of our Old Testament prophets and New Testament Jesus. Lay people often want to get right to the point and not always have to wade through the academic jargon of the various religious disciplines. My volume gives them some examples of how certain scripture, once it is employed, was and is used to support the mandate to "feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, and set free the captives" and that the nations will be judged by the way they treat the "least of those among us." The volume has real world applications. Justice can be done through direct service; education about the issues; or systemic advocacy as shown here.
