Justice for the Poor
Author: Jim Wallis
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0310327873
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Through this six-session small group Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), Jim Wallis and Sojourners teaches you to connect biblical faith with contemporary responses to poverty, both in your neighborhood and around the world. According to Wallis, "When the wealthy are dying from diseases of overabundance and the poor are dying from inadequate health care, poor diets, and stress-related illnesses, there is spiritual disease in society." Justice for the Poor recaptures the biblical vision that links poverty with justice. Jesus' life and teaching shows a deep compassion toward the poor and marginalized. His messages often highlight the injustices shown to the poor and the prejudices the well-off have against them. How can we learn from the poor? What is our responsibility to care for the poor and to advocate for justice on their behalf? Jim Wallis and Sojourners will engage your small group to take action. Sessions include: Burger King Mom: Being Poor in America Is There Something Wrong With the Prosperity Gospel? At the Corner of Church and State: What's the Proper Role of Each in Caring for the Poor? The Gospel According to New Orleans Outside the Gate: The Poor and the Global Economy Beyond "Serial Charity" to a Just Society " Designed for use with the Justice for the Poor Video Study (sold separately).

A Place at the Table
Author: Judith Ann Brady
Publisher: Twenty-Third Publications
ISBN: 9781585956098
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
It's one thing to say that we believe in justice for all, but quite another to actively seek social justice for the poor in our midst. After extensive research, the author is convinced that a huge gap exists between talking about justice and actually doing justice for the poor. She believes that achieving justice for all requires a deep and broad approach that involves the integration of Catholic social teaching with Scripture and Tradition so that charity and justice actually become social justice. Only when people-every race, nationality, class, and religion-are educated for justice, built on respect for the person and the responsibility of individuals and the community, will we in the U.S. be able to cut through the rhetoric of blame and move toward solidarity.

Justice and Generosity
Author: Kenneth R. Mitchell
Publisher: Publishamerica Incorporated
ISBN: 9781605639505
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
Should the poverty that abounds in the world today be a concern for the average Christian, or is this a concern only for those with a special calling to minister to the poor? In this book author Kenneth R. Mitchell examines all that the Bible says about the poor by providing an exposition of all the passages of Scripture that address a concern for the poor. He begins by examining the many provisions for the poor in the Mosaic Law. He then continues through the Old Testament books of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, and the Prophets. He then examines carefully the concern for the poor in the ministry of Jesus, as well as the early church. The conclusion is overwhelming: Justice and generosity toward the poor is very much of a priority with God, and therefore ought to be very much of a priority in the life of His people.
