A highly engaging and informative attempt to sustain theological reflection in a systematic sequence while also honoring very different contexts, including those of the readers. & Christian Doctrines for Global Justice is an invitation to a theological journey where investigations are not for the faint of heart, nor for those whose reflections have no correlation to experience. & this is an imaginative adventure that will birth ever-increasing circles of Christian doctrines for global justice.
