Product Description
It is commonly thought in secular society that the Bible is one of the great hinderances 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. Hese is an audiobook for believers who find the Bible a trustworthy guide as well as those who suspect that Christianity is a regressive influence on the world.
Keller's church, founded in the eighties with fewer than one hundred congregant, is now exponentially larger. More that five thousand people regularly attend Sunday services, and another twenty-five thousand 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 thousand people yearn to comprehend. In Generous Justice, he offers them a new understanding of modern justice and human rights.
