Pandemic Injustice: How Christians Should Respond
Pandemic Injustice: How Christians Should Respond
In this mini ebook, Jervis presents a case for the Christian's engagement with race and justice issues. This book reveals that the problem of Christians' lack of concern for Justice or compassion-related issues is not just theological but a multi-layered one: ranging from personal, theological, cultural, denominational and other historical factors.
Hence, Jervis relates a list of nine common reasons people, particularly Christians, usually tend to shy away from speaking up about Justice issues-particularly racism and the likes. He categorized these as issues of culture (ethnic or denominational/Church), semantics, theology, politics, missional praxis, fear and ignorance. This book is designed to this inspire some honest/sober self-awareness and reflection!
