What Hath Justice to Do with Righteousness?: Reclaiming the Intersection of Protest and Prayer

Justice is God's Righteousness in Action Reclaim what was always meant to be whole. Justice and righteousness are not opposing forces but inseparable pillars of God's design. But often our minds divide them, even set them in opposition to one another. In What Hath Justice to Do with Righteousness?, Rev. Dr. Charlie E. Dates provides a biblical and historical overview of the bond between these two pillars of the Christian faith that challenges our assumptions, renews our understanding, and invites us into a new movement of protest and prayer. With biblical wisdom, theological reflection, and an honest critique of cultural blind spots, this book boldly declares that justice is God's righteousness in action. True justice cannot exist apart from righteousness, and righteousness is hollow without a commitment to justice. God's justice restores and reconciles.
