Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Justice must be central for Christians because it is central to the heart of God. As Rah and VanderPol write, American evangelicals are rediscovering God's deep concern and Christians' historic activism for justice.

This book examines several influential evangelical movements that have shaped our understanding of service, compassion, and justice, including contributions from the African American and Latino evangelical communities. It provides valuable insights that both inspire individual growth and compel us toward an authentic return to God's heart for justice.'--Rev. Dr. Mae Elise Cannon, author of Social Justice Handbook: Small Steps for a Better World'This carefully researched book shines a spotlight on modern evangelical movements that expound the gospel message as a mandate for social justice as well as eternal salvation.

They make a persuasive case.'--Mark Noll, author of Turning Points.
