God does not suggest, he commands that we do justice.

Social justice is not optional for the Christian. All injustice affects others, so talking about justice that isn't social is like talking about water that isn't wet or a square with no right angles. But the Bible's call to seek justice is not a call to superficial, kneejerk activism. We are not merely commanded to execute justice, but to "truly execute justice". The God who commands us to seek justice is the same God who commands us to "test everything" and "hold fast to what is good".

Drawing from a diverse range of theologians, sociologists, artists, and activists, Confronting Injustice Without Compromising Truth, by Thaddeus Williams, makes the case that we must be discerning if we are to "truly execute justice" as Scripture commands. Not everything called "social justice" today is compatible with a biblical vision of a better world. The Bible offers hopeful and distinctive answers to deep questions of worship, community, salvation, and knowledge that ought to mark a uniquely Christian pursuit of justice. Topics addressed include:

  • Racism
  • Sexuality
  • Socialism
  • Culture war
  • Abortion
  • Tribalism
  • Critical theory
  • Identity politics

Confronting Injustice Without Compromising Truth also brings in unique voices to talk about their experiences with these various social justice issues, including:

  • Michelle-Lee Barnwall
  • Suresh Budhaprithi
  • Eddie Byun
  • Freddie Cardoza
  • Becket Cook
  • Bella Danusiar
  • Monique Duson
  • Ojo Okeye
  • Edwin Ramirez
  • Samuel Sey
  • Neil Shenvi
  • Walt Sobchak

In Confronting Injustice Without Compromising Truth, Thaddeus Williams transcends our religious and political tribalism and challenges listeners to discover what the Bible and the example of Jesus have to teach us about justice. He presents a compelling vision of justice for all God's image-bearers that offers hopeful answers to life's biggest questions.

Williams has written the perfect book for this cultural moment. For Christians who want to do the right thing and try to be sensitive to the issues of social justice and race in our present day, and yet find themselves confused and wondering why they have an inherent resistance to much of what passes for justice and compassion in the public square , this book explains the dichotomy.

affirming every biblical principle regarding the moral duties towards our fellow image bearers, Williams nevertheless reminds us that the gospel is something more than the moral duties of fairness compassion Justice and equality. and I found especially compelling some of the debunking that Williams does of systems of thought that promote justice but wind up promoting Injustice, that promote compassion but wind up exhibiting a deep lack of compassion, that stand for equality and yet the net result is inequality, that claim to be speaking a bold truth that in fact relies on a whole lot of half-truths and skewed and biased scholarship.

cannot recommend this book highly enough, a must read for every Christian who want to resins to our cultural reckoning on race while holding onto truth

A Book I Wish I Had Written

This is a truly outstanding Biblical analysis of social justice issues, and provides a balanced and thorough perspective which ought to challenge readers from all viewpoints and political parties. It is first and foremost a Biblical analysis, but does a great job tackling the major issues of our time and doing so in a way which is charitable, fair, thorough, and provides a challenge to all readers. This isn't a book which casts blame but one which helps us judge rightly, understand the truth, and see our own failings as much as we see those of others.

This book is NOT what I expected. Once I started listening, I kept looking for a good reason to stop. That moment never happened. I had recently listened to a Social Justice B book that I enjoyed and wanted a "christian" perspective of the same. When the Social Justice B book stated that when a black person calls something racism that makes it true, I said "yeah!". This book revealed that the amount of pigment does not make one infallible, and that the only infallible One is God. Well that bit of truth does not tickle the flesh as much. Praise God for raising up men and women who go against the grain to give us what we need instead of what we want.

Did NOT enjoy but couldn't stop listening

This was a great book! I feel like it gave both sides of the political isle the benefit of the doubt, but also didn’t let either off easy. It’s very thoughtful and compelling. I love the personal stories sprinkled throughout as well. It also focuses on God, someone whom most people talking about justice ignore. 10/10 would recommend!
