Practicing Justice

by Nathan Brown

“Practising Justice is an inspiring call to action for all who seek to embody faith through justice, embracing justice as a lifelong journey of growth and commitment. As we engage with its insights, we are reminded that true justice requires unwavering dedication and a heart open to continual learning.”—Dr Dilys Brooks, Campus Chaplain, Loma Linda University

Those who practise justice see wrong and work to right it—to replace oppression with freedom, disadvantage with equity, evil with good. Historically, many campaigns for justice had strong roots in faith, but more and more movements are now seeking change apart from this foundation for transformation and resilience.

Practising Justice is an invitation to consider how faith can help make sense of the need for justice and how the roots of faith can ground and sustain this necessary work. Drawing insights from the Bible and the Civil Rights Movement, this book explores “Ten Commandments” for practising justice—getting better at it by doing it repeatedly over time—and overcoming intractable injustice with hope and love.

“Any book can be judged by the consequences it brings about in the thoughts and actions of the reader. In Practising Justice, Nathan has achieved a book that is capable of both challenging and encouraging my thoughts and actions in equal measure. In short, it is consequential.”—Mark Webster, Chief Strategy Officer, Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA)
