Overview
Redeeming Justice: Doing Good for God’s Glory, Not Merely unto Society
According to the latest research from Pew, Barna, and Lifeway, Millennials and Gen Z generations have a strong inclination to engage social justice minded issues, more so than any other generation in living history. Increasingly, though, those under the age of 40 report engaging good work as an endeavor completely divorced from the Church or even a Christian worldview. As followers of Christ, our resolve for doing social justice is found in Jesus, rather than purely in hopes that our contribution will somehow yield a better society. In this session, we consider how Christian theology calls us to do justice, how Church orthodoxy has supported these efforts, and a methodology for engaging good work unto God’s glory, not simply for societal welfare.
