Bradley Christian
- This book is an embrace of the justice movement and an attempt to marry it to the ministry and mission of the Church. It fails to convince.
- You are quite right in that this term, for most people, is a very generic one with a virtuous connotation, and hence, is an acceptable term. The reality is quite different, in that the typical verbiage attached to social justice is the word distribution, whereby the "state" will take from some and give to others. It is the state who is the final arbiter of what is good, just and necessary. So much for a free society. The term was originally coined in the Catholic theater of the early 1800's, but today's version bears even less similarity to it. It is now the clarion call for a great many radicals, anarchists and has little to do with orthodox Christianity unless contorted dramatically. Consequently, the "state" will determine what constitutes good and equal...and you can bet they won't be using the Holy Bible as the standard!
- This book should be clearly labeled as to reveal the fact that it is non-biblical - like the book of mormon is; they could add "critical race theory" as a label. As it is, a person unfamiliar with all this may purchase the book based on the product page which is misleading.
- I purchased volume 17 to finish out the series of Owen’s works-while I don’t know Latin (the translated works are on the to buy list). On the whole though Owens theology and treaties are the standard of orthodox and valuable to understanding the church, the Holy Spirit, the trinity, suffering, and the mortification of sin! Read these books.
