Description
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.

In a world where the deep doctrines of theology and the pressing concerns of ministry rarely connect beyond the superficial, RaShan Frost takes us on a deep dive into the trinitarian foundations of justice in one of the most respected evangelical pastor-activists of our time, John M. Perkins. Though not an academic theologian, Perkins' lived theology demonstrates that faithful orthopraxy is grounded in robust orthodoxy. This book invites pastors and academics alike to remember that great theologians are not only found in the academy, they arise among those who answer the call to minister the gospel to a sin-sick world.
