Why Social Justice is Not Biblical Justice 

An Urgent Appeal to Fellow Christians in a Time of Social Crisis

​

The live experience is full. But you can still register for the virtual experience.

This group will read Scott Allen's, Why Social Justice is Not Biblical Justice. dive deep into the discussion about social justice vs. biblical justice. In recent years, a set of ideas rooted in postmodernism and neo-Marxist critical theory have merged into a comprehensive worldview. Labeled “social justice” by its advocates, it has radically redefined the popular understanding of justice. This book aims to replace confusion with clarity by holding up the counterfeit worldview and the Biblical worldview side-by-side, showing how significantly they differ in their core presuppositions. It challenges Christians to not merely denounce the false worldview, but offer a better alternative—the incomparable Biblical worldview, which shapes cultures marked by genuine justice, mercy, forgiveness, social harmony, and human dignity.
