Contents:
Imagining justice for the marginalized: a suspicious reading of the covenant code (Exodus 21:1-23:33) in its ancient Near Eastern context / Paul S. Evans -- Wisdom's cry: embracing the vision of justice in Old Testament wisdom literature / Mark J. Boda and Shannon E. Baines -- Seek Yahweh, establish justice: probing prophetic ethics: an orientation from Amos 5:1-17 / M. Daniel Carroll R. -- Social justice or personal righteousness? What Jesus has to say in Matthew and Mark / Craig A. Evans -- Good news to the poor: social upheaval, strong warnings, and sincere giving in Luke-Acts / Bryan R. Dyer -- Reframing social justice in the Pauline letters / Stanley E. Porter -- Continue to remember the poor: social justice within the poor and powerless Jewish Christian communities / Cynthia Long Westfall -- Social justice in the book of Revelation: reading Revelation from above / David L. Mathewson.
Summary: Although the cry for justice in human society is an important theme in the Bible, in many church and academic circles action for and discourse about social justice is carried on without a thorough exploration of this theme in Scripture. This volume brings together chapters by experts in the various sections of the Old and New Testaments to give a full spectrum of what the Bible has to say about social justice, and to point to ways forward for Christians seeking to think and act in harmony with God in pursuing social justice in the world today.
