Because of sin we live in a broken and dysfunctional world. Global issues of poverty, hunger and malnutrition, homelessness, disease, violence, drug trafficking and abuse, and human trafficking face us at every turn. More than ever, there is the need for clarity on what the Bible says about justice. This six-week study looks at God’s mandate to work for justice and mercy, with a focus on what Jesus says about this topic in the book of Luke. It addresses two main questions. First, what is justice? And, secondly, what is our obligation as Christians, both individually and corporately, to be persons of justice? The lessons for each week are divided into two parts: (1) personal study and reflection; and (2) group study.

The book of Job has captured the imagination of Christians and non-Christians alike. In this study, Ronald Hesselgrave shows how the personal story of Job's intense struggle with suffering is representative of the pain and vexation within the entire creation, and how Job's eventual healing and restoration in the context of his relationship to God is connected to the "grand narrative" of God's purpose to redeem humanity and defeat evil in the world. He explores the themes of creation, evil, lament, justice, and God's sovereignty, grace, and redemption within the separate speeches in Job and against the backdrop of wisdom literature as a whole. A further concern of this study is with the pastoral or practical value of the book of Job, both for caregivers and those who may themselves be going through the valley of deep trauma and suffering. Dr. Hesselgrave brings together theological, social, and psychological insights in a way that deepens our understanding of suffering and provides the basis for a more holistic and comprehensive response to the needs of those who suffer. A final summary of the implications of Job for a practical theology of suffering is given in the conclusion.

Public Ethics for a Pluralistic Society: Contrasting Visions of America's Religious and Moral Foundations

"In recent years a number of thinkers have argued for a religiously grounded public ethic which legitimizes American republican institutions and gives meaning to the common life of American political society. The problem is that lack of theoretical clarity has impeded this recent discussion, particularly as it relates to questions surrounding the meaning, value, and significance of pluralism in American society." "Dr. Ronald P. Hesselgrave attempts to distinguish and compare some major patterns of response to the concern of America's moral and religious foundations. Hesselgrave's study directs the discussion from the orientation of traditional Jewish and Christian appeals and a more generalized religious and moral framework which is somehow expressive of the national experience. After analyzing these theoretical arguments, the author identifies available options, noting similarities and differences between them with a critical evaluation of alternative perspectives. The study concludes with a brief proposal for a public theology based upon the results of this comparative survey."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
