Product Description

Treating the whole of Scripture, Robert Kysar forges the connections between the practice of social ministry and the biblical images undergirding and motivating that ministry. Social ministry is more than charity: It wrestles with the very structures and systems that deprive and oppress. This book examines not only the usual "justice" texts but also those that seem to counter this position and shows how the Bible addresses practical, contemporary concerns and fears.
