A Corruption of Consequence: Adding Social Justice to the Gospel
Ebook
Overview
A grave danger lurks behind the seemingly friendly term of social justice. Contemporary social justice endangers our country, families, and, most importantly, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Social justice is, in many ways, a euphemism for cultural Marxism. What has made its threat even more treacherous is that cultural Marxism ideas have made their way into conservative evangelicalism and the Southern Baptist Convention. As long as Christians are led to believe that social justice is the same as God's justice, Christians will be facilitators of godless Marxism. They will be instruments of corrupting the gospel of Jesus Christ. This book biblically critiques social justice and prepares Christians to stand for God's impartial justice, truth, love, and the gospel.
“New terms have entered the vocabulary of both the Southern
Baptist Convention and the evangelical world . . . words like:
critical race theory, intersectionality, social justice, and woke.
. . . Ronnie addresses the issues in a straightforward, benevolent,
and respectful tone . . . this volume is a must-read.”
—Mark H. Ballard, President/Founder, Northeastern Baptist
College
“Few evangelicals understand what is behind critical race theory,
social justice, and intersectionality. Ronnie Rogers . . . adeptly
explains these terms and why they should concern Christians—making
his case entirely from the sufficiency of Scripture. If I were to
read only one book this year, this would, without a doubt, be the
one.”
—Z. Scott Colter, Executive Director, Sandy Creek Foundation
“Ronnie Rogers is a pastoral scholar who wields the truth of a
biblical worldview . . . with which he shatters the lie that a
Christian can embrace ‘social justice’ and critical race theory
without destroying the basic teachings of Christ. . . . Settling
this issue will allow Southern Baptists to reclaim their effective
witness to the world.”
—Tom Hatley, Pastor, IBC Global Outreach Center
“The social justice agenda is both seductive and deceptive. . . .
It is the antithesis of the gospel. Ronnie Rogers is one of the
Southern Baptists’ greatest leaders and pastors. His highly
accessible primer on this otherwise complex topic is a vital tool
for a church increasingly awash in the philosophies of this world
and bereft of the simple gospel. It is not just a must-read, but an
urgent one.”
—Rod D. Martin, Founder and CEO, The Martin Organization,
Inc.
