Praise for Generous Justice
"Keller shows us how a . . . spirit—one of
generosity coupled with justice—can thoroughly alter not only a
person but, ultimately, society as a whole. . . .
Many gems are to be mined from Generous Justice." —The
Washington Times
"Generous Justice is the best book I've ever read about putting
Christian faith into action. . . . Were all Christians to respond
to Keller's understanding of Biblically based justice, it wouldn't
simply result in more social programs, food and shelter, and health
care for the needy. It would result in a world defined by shalom, a
comprehensive peace, a world in which human beings flourish."
—Beliefnet.com
"This is the most biblically informed and intellectually
careful (read the footnotes!) 'social justice' book I know of.
Justice skeptics and justice proponents alike will learn from
Generous Justice." —Kevin DeYoung, TheGospelCoalition.org
"A great book . . . Keller cuts through the highly charged rhetoric
and presents a clear, biblical call for the church to 'do
justice.'" —EFCAToday.org
