Freedom, Justice and Hope: Toward a Strategy for the Poor and the Oppressed (Turning Point Christian Worldview Series) Reviews
-
On the good side of good.

Although written in the late 80s, this is surprisingly relevant to our own cultural challenges. I believe it shows two things: (1) how insightful and prescient the authors were, (2) how the Church hasn't learned much since then. Although there has been progress (thinking here of the good work done by the Chalmers Center for Economic Development), too many Christians are still oblivious to the realities of economic development, and the theological and philosophical underpinnings of most social movements today.
