The Justice and Mercy Book

The call to pursue justice and mercy is central to the Bible and to the teaching of Jesus. ‘What does the Lord require of you?’ asked the prophet Micah. To which he gave the immediate answer: ‘To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.’ Jesus confirmed Micah’s words when he said, ‘You have neglected the more important matters of the law: justice mercy and faithfulness’ (Matthew 23.23). So what does it mean to act justly and love mercy as a follower of Jesus today? That is the question that Natalie Williams addresses in this uniquely helpful book, in which she reflects on God’s call to justice and mercy as it appears in every single book of the Bible. Packed with arresting insights and prompts for both discussion and action, here is an essential biblical resource that both individuals and groups will find stimulating and rewarding – and, most importantly, motivating!
