The book explains what advocates mean by “social justice” and contrasts that with what the Bible means by justice; refutes claims that the Bible requires wealth redistribution enforced by civil government; builds Biblical support for the definition of justice; demonstrates that Biblical justice requires four criteria: impartiality, proportionality, rendering what is due, and conformity to the standard of God’s law; and explains why some “rights” claimed in the name of “social justice” are not rights at all but actually violations of true, Biblically defined rights. It includes The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel released by Christian leaders in 2018.
Social Justice vs. Biblical Justice addresses a crucial issue in America today, one on which our survival as a nation “with liberty and justice for all” depends.
One of the first books we read on the topic of "Social Justice" as several on DA team attended a home group that Cal Beisner visitied and spoke to, while our pastor & church at the time would not permit him to speak at their faciilities.
