Overview

It is commonly thought in secular society that the Bible is one of the greatest hindrances 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 sees it another way. In Generous Justice, Keller explores a life of justice empowered by an experience of grace: a generous, gracious justice. Here is a book for believers who find the Bible a trustworthy guide as well as those who suspect that Christianity is a regressive influence in the 

Praise for Generous Justice: This is the most biblically informed and intellectually careful (read the footnotes!) “social justice” book I know of. Justice skeptics and justice proponents alike will learn from Generous Justice.

– Kevin DeYoung, The Gospel Coalition Generous Justice is the best book I’ve ever read about putting Christian faith into action… Were all Christians to respond to Keller’s understanding of Biblically based justice, it wouldn’t simply result in more social programs, food and shelter and health care for the needy. It would result in a world defined by shalom, a comprehensive peace, a world in which human beings flourish.

1. Generous Justice: How God's Grace Makes Us Just

Renowned pastor and bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller shares his most provocative and illuminating message yet.

It is commonly thought in secular society that the Bible is one of the greatest hindrances 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 sees it another way. In Generous Justice, Keller explores a life of justice empowered by an experience of grace: a generous, gracious justice. Here is a book for believers who find the Bible a trustworthy guide as well as those who suspect that Christianity is a regressive influence in the world. 

Keller's church, founded in the eighties with fewer than one hundred congregants, is now exponentially larger. More than six thousand people regularly attend Sunday services, and another twenty-five thousand download Keller's sermons each week. A 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 thousands of people yearn to comprehend. In Generous Justice, he offers them a new understanding of modern justice and human rights.

3. Justicia generosa
La pobreza y la injusticia son temas que han preocupado a Timothy Keller desde que empezo? como pastor hace ma?s de treinta an?os. Justicia generosa demuestra que, aunque en el pasado era bien sabido que la Biblia es el fundamento moral de la justicia en la sociedad, las posiciones contrarias de los conservadores y de los liberales han polarizado tanto la opinio?n que ni siquiera la iglesia puede ponerse de acuerdo sobre que? significa “hacer justicia”. Keller examina pasajes bi?blicos clave que promueven la pra?ctica justa y desvela que solo a trave?s de una experiencia profunda de la gracia de Dios obtendremos la motivacio?n para preocuparnos de los pobres.

4. Ruim baan voor gerechtigheid Rechtvaardig Worden Door Gods Genade
Wij moeten opkomen voor de armen en verdrukten. Maar we leven in de praktijk een luizenleven. Hoe kunnen we die twee dingen met elkaar rijmen? Hoe gaan we om met de nood in de wereld?

En vooral: wat zegt de Bijbel over deze dingen. Want we staan natuurlijk pal voor de waarheid van Gods Woord, en de leer van de Schrift zullen we te vuur en te zwaard verdedigen. Maar diezelfde Schrift kan het ons ook heel ongemakkelijk maken.

Moeten christenen die de oude, orthodoxe leer van kruis en verzoening en rechtvaardiging uit het geloof hooghouden zich druk maken over gerechtigheid? Nou en of; en juist zij, betoogt Tim Keller in dit boek.

Het is misschien wel zijn meest indringende en ingrijpende boodschap tot nu toe. Des te opvallender is het talent van Keller om ook in het vuur van zijn pleidooi voor kerk- en wereldverbetering altijd de eisen van evenwichtigheid, ruimhartigheid en respect voor alle mensen, meningen en richtingen in het oog te houden.

'Keller komt naar voren als een C.S. Lewis voor de 21e eeuw, een verdediger van orthodox christendom.' (Newsweek)

Tim Keller is stichter en predikant van de Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. Eerder verscheen van hem In alle redelijkheid (2008, 8e druk 2010), De vrijgevige God (2009, 4e druk 2010) en Namaakgoden (1e en 2e druk 2010)

5. Pour une vie juste et généreuse | Grâce de Dieu et pratique de la justice

Je souhaite que les croyants découvrent à quel point le souci de la justice en faveur des pauvres et des marginalisés est au coeur du message de l’Écriture. Et je souhaite également que ceux qui n’adhèrent pas au christianisme découvrent la Bible non comme un texte répressif mais comme le fondement de la compréhension moderne des droits humains. J’ouvrirai chaque chapitre de ce livre par un appel à pratiquer la justice sous la forme d’un texte tiré directement de la Bible. J’indiquerai comment ces paroles peuvent devenir le fondement d’une communauté humaine juste et généreuse. Je ne m’attends pas à ce que chaque lecteur adhère complètement à mon raisonnement, mais j’espère en orienter plusieurs vers une nouvelle façon de concevoir la Bible, la justice et la grâce. » Timothy Keller

Si l’injustice de notre société vous révolte, découvrez dans ce livre comment la Bible nous encourage à mener une vie juste et généreuse. Bâtir un monde plus juste est possible si nous nous y mettons maintenant, là où nous habitons, avec ce que nous sommes et ce que nous possédons.

6. Warum Gerechtigkeit?: Gottes Traum für seine Welt
Die Bibel und soziale Gerechtigkeit – wie passt das zusammen? Vertritt sie nicht ein rückständiges Weltbild, in dem sogar Sklaverei erlaubt ist? Die einen halten das Christentum daher für die Wurzel allen Übels überhaupt. Andere meinen, man müsse die Bibel nur neu verstehen und die „orthodoxen“ Dogmen über Bord werfen. Und manche Christen meinen tatsächlich, die Kirche solle sich um die Gerechtigkeit der Menschen vor Gott kümmern – für die soziale Gerechtigkeit seien andere zuständig. Tim Keller liebt es, Vorurteile herauszufordern. Er ist überzeugt: Wer von der Erfahrung der Gnade Gottes geprägt ist und die Bibel wirklich ernst nimmt, der entdeckt Gottes großzügige Gerechtigkeit. Und er kann dann gar nicht anders, als sich für Gerechtigkeit einzusetzen und sich für die Bedürftigen aufzuopfern. Lassen Sie sich von Timothy Kellers Verständnis des modernen Gerechtigkeitsbegriffs und der Menschenrechte herausfordern!

7. Justiça generosa a graça de Deus e a justiça social
Justiça social tem a ver com teologia da libertação? Com missão integral? Ou com a pura e simples graça de Deus?

Nesta obra Tim Keller analisa a fundamental relação entre evangelho e justiça e nos dá uma visão bíblica de justiça social. Ele nos mostra que a preocupação com a justiça em todos os aspectos da vida não é acréscimo artificial nem contradição à mensagem das Escrituras, pois a Bíblia é a verdadeira base da justiça.

1. Conversations in Justice: A Small Group Companion Guide to Generous Justice
God's Grace, Your Response A relationship exists between a person's eperience of God's grace and their participation in acts of justice, mercy and compassion. This connection reflects an often neglected principle of scripture that Timothy Keller's book, Generous Justice, seeks to embed in the hearts and minds of Jesus' followers and restore to the life of the Church. Jesus offers us redemption through the gift of grace. Yet, receiving this gift is only the beginning of what it means to follow Him. Jesus himself puts it like this, "Freely you have received; now, freely give" (Matthew 10:18). Once we are redeemed by grace, Jesus commands us to live graciously. In this six-session small group Bible study, you will explore the depths of God's grace and wrestle with the biblical call to respond. What are the Old Testament foundations of justice, mercy and compassion? What does Jesus have to say about these things? How does the Bible call me to relate to others in my community? Why should we engage in acts of justice a compassion? How do we engage in these acts effectively. In essence, what does God say about our responsibility for the least, the last, and the lost? This study guide will help you gain insight into these questions and move you toward action as a group and individually. It is designed to be used alongside Timothy Keller's book, Generous Justice: How God's Grace makes us Just, available from Dutton publishing and a companion video resource, available by going to www.wcchapel.org/conversationsinjustice
