SOCIAL JUSTICE JESUS
EDWARD S. GEORGESON
May 2021 978-1-7364371-0-0DESCRIPTION:
SOCIAL JUSTICE JESUS is an in-depth look at the literal message of Jesus' epic Sermon on the Mount. It demonstrates how Jesus taught from the Old Testament themes of the laws and the prophets to support a message of charity, justice, mercy, and faith. These tenets, according to Jesus, are needed in one's life if they are going to be members of the kingdom of heaven. The insights within this book are placed within the context of the audience of his day. It focuses on what they would have understood Jesus to be saying without the modernized contextual biases of today's Christianity. Nevertheless, Jesus' 2,000 year-old message is just as valuable to today's society since the social issues faced then are still issues that plague us today.
This book is also available as an eBook on Amazon.com
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Georgeson is no stranger to economic disparity and injustice. He has spent years in Christian service managing relief, agriculture, and water development projects in some of the world’s poorest counties. His work has taken him to East Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and Central America. His experience, tenacious theological studies, and teaching style have given him a unique ability to look at the messages of Christ and share insights that few Bible students discover on their own. Social Justice Jesus is a literary adventure into many of these acquired insights.
