Justice, Mercy and Humility by Tim Chester

Justice, Mercy and Humility by Tim Chester

Justice, Mercy and Humility explores the challenge of integral mission among the poor today. It locates the Christian response within a world of alternatives - alternatives at the macro-level of policies and advocacy and the micro-level of lifestyle and affirms the need to integrate ourselves within a total missional response to the poor. Combing case studies from around the world with Jesus' own teaching and ministry, the book considers what it means for the church to be a countercultural ministry and in doing so raises new questions about what it means to be church. Included are contributions from Tom Sine, C. Rene Padilla and Elaine Storkey.
