{"product_id":"9781442223950","title":"Connecting Jesus to Social Justice : Classical Christology and Public Theology","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany Christians see the societal dimension of their faith as a matter of biblical and social ethics. Returning to classical Christology, Connecting Jesus to Social Justice explores messianic potential in the Council of Chalcedon on the divine identity of Christ. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho Jesus is makes all the difference to Christian entrance into the public sphere on behalf of a just society. The Messiah's divinity bears on social mission directed toward a just social order. Theological appropriation of Chalcedon overcomes a gap between the professing the Creed and interpreting social existence in light of a just social order. Connecting Jesus to Social Justice argues a doctrinally traditional, orthodox basis for Christian participation in the public sphere on behalf of social justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses a situation internal to churches in the U.S. from a Catholic perspective yet not without analogies in other churches and Christian movements. Applying traditional Christology to contemporary social mission solidifies an answer to adversarial queries on the appropriateness of a social agenda. Implications in the classical Christology also confirm churches and discipleship in commitment to social justice promoted through a subaltern counter-public and then by word and deed in the public sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42762053386315,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":5347.99,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9781442223950-1.jpg?v=1783437692","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9781442223950","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
