Generous Justice
Description
Watch an interview with Tim Keller about Generous Justice.
It is commonly thought in secular society that the Bible is one of the greatest hindrances to doing justice. Isn’t it full of regressive views? Didn’t it condone slavery? Why look to the Bible for guidance on how to have a more just society? But Timothy Keller, pastor of New York City’s Redeemer Presbyterian Church, sees it another way. In Generous Justice, Keller explores a life of justice empowered by an experience of grace: a generous, gracious justice. Here is a book for believers who find the Bible a trustworthy guide, as well as those who suspect that Christianity is a regressive influence in the world.
Keller’s church, founded in the 80s with fewer than 100 congregants, is now exponentially larger. Over 5,000 people regularly attend Sunday services, and another 25,000 download Keller’s sermons each week. A recent profile in New York magazine described his typical sermon as 'a mix of biblical scholarship, pop culture, and whatever might have caught his eye in The New York Review of Books or on Salon.com that week.' In short, Timothy Keller speaks a language that many thousands of people understand. In Generous Justice, he offers them a new understanding of modern justice and human rights.

Anything written by Tim Keller is worth a read
Tim keller's latest book is timely advice as he relates how social justice does not mean the abandonment of sound doctrine. Rather justice reflects the very character of the Lord and is our motivation to become involved.
Some high profile evangelicals have followed and popularised the 'Emerging Church' movement ands its doctrinal shift. Keller addresses and challenges this reengineering of doctrine, not simply to tell us why we should practice generous justice, but how can practice it both individually and corporately. Buy it, read it and empowered by the Lord practice it.
