'In a world where justice is too often about power, Isabelle Hamley shows that God's justice brings transformation, healing and hope for all.' JUSTIN WELBY

What is justice? It's a question we encounter everywhere in life and that over the last years has increasingly demanded an answer.

In Embracing Justice, Isabelle Hamley invites us on an exhilarating journey through Scripture to discover how we, as churches, communities and individual Christians, can seek and practice justice even when enmeshed in such a fractured world.

Full of practical encouragement, the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book for 2022 brilliantly weaves together biblical texts, diverse voices, contemporary stories, and personal and group meditations to reveal liberating and imaginative ways in which me may grow in discipleship - and more fully reflect the justice, mercy and compassion of Christ in our lives.

With six chapters to take you from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, this Lent devotional for 2022 is essential reading for anyone interested in the issues of justice - from climate and economic justice to gender and racial equality - that are increasingly at the forefront of global consciousness, and the role that Christians and the Church must play in them.

Suitable for use both as a single study for individuals and for small groups to prepare for Easter, Embracing Justice will encourage, inform and motivate anyone looking for Christian books about justice. It will help you understand justice from a biblical perspective, and inspire you to seek it in every aspect of your life.

Although the world is broken, unequal and violent, the call to reflect God's own justice and mercy continues to sound like a steady drumbeat, impossible to ignore. Company with Isabelle Hamley this Lent, and discover that we can all join God's mission of transformation and embrace his justice.

Product description

Review

‘A comprehensive and plain-speaking call for social justice in all its forms . . . deserves a wide audience . . . salutary and valuable.’ --Transforming Ministry

In a world where justice is too often about power, Isabelle Hamley shows that God's justice brings transformation, healing and hope for all. --Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury on Embracing Justice

At last, an authoritative and comprehensive study of the connection between faith and mental health which doesn't shy away from making helpful practical applications. I commend it very warmly indeed. --Bishop James Newcome on ‘The Bible and Mental Health’ edited by Isabelle Hamley and Christopher C H Cook

Book Description

Embracing Justice, the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book for 2022 asks: What might a spirituality shaped by biblical portrayals of justice look like for the church of the 21st century?

Long on adjectives, short on new ideas

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2022

Verified Purchase

I liked the idea of this book, and it is the text of choice for my study group this Lent. However, it suffers from cliched arguments, broad generalisations and sloppy scholarship. There are three or four good ideas. But they could have been expressed in a short blog.

Before reading this book, I had never worried that Jesus set the words to the prayer Our Father in the plural because he was asked by a group of people how they should pray. It is interesting to think about how saying, My Father, changes the dynamic. But that was not the author's purpose.

Highly readable and eye-opening

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 March 2022

Verified Purchase

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, whilst being challenged at the same time. It is highly readable and hard to put down. We find a beautiful description of God and His justice. We start at the beginning with creation and the garden and those first humans trying to grasp what is not rightfully theirs. We move through Exodus and read of Joseph and Moses and have our eyes opened to new revelations. We see Christ throughout the Scriptures and read of justice that is about love, mercy, grace. We see the life and death of Jesus perfectly showing God’ justice. We see that justice is realised in community and Holy Communion is shown as an example of this - something that cannot be shared alone. I would highly recommend this book and I’m sure I will return to it often.

Tedious

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2022

Verified Purchase

I agree with Nick Shanagher. All the usual cliches and buzzwords are there in abundance. It's full of expressions like "justice and equality", as though the two were synonymous or compatible. It's written in what I call diocese-speak, which leads me to conclude that the author wrote it to impress her peers rather to inform or engage us mortal folk. I was obliged to wade through it because I too was doing a Lent course. What a tedious slog it was!

What is justice really about?

We all want justice but this book sets it in the theological context of God's love. Complex, really worth reading

Wise wise words.

Used this book on our 2022 Lent course. But it’s a book for anyone interested in justice, laws and it’s shortcomings. So applicable since the start of the Ukraine invasion.

A great read in the run up to Easter. Challenging, inspirational, thought provoking. If we all embraced justice in the manner reflected on in this book, the world would be transformed into a much better place.
