Thinking about Justice Through the Ministry of John M. Perkins: A Trinitarian Ethic

by RaShan Frost

Overview

This book argues that within Perkin's ministry methodology, one can see an underlying ethical conception of justice that is grounded within the Trinity and that grounding informs Christian theological, sociological, and political practices. Perkins' 3R ministry strategy of reconciliation, relocation, and redistribution provide categories in the theological, sociological, and political practice respectively. The book explores what informs Perkins' theology and ethic of justice and how his view of justice should shape and inform how we view justice as Christians.
