This can help extend the churchs imagination as to how it might better become Gods community of restoration as it reflects on the ways in which the justice of God is taking shape in its own community.How does an ecclesial context shape the theological apprehension and praxis of justice? This question orientates the book. In particular, it asks how, in view of its members having been admitted into Gods restoring justice in Christ, the church might embody in the world this same justice of restoring right relationships.

It is this restorative conception that ought to guide the community that reads Scripture so that it might be embodied in life. This item is printed on demand.
