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 center the role of justice in 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.

Reviews

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.

RaShan Frost unveils the deep trinitarian basis for the well-known ministry of John Perkins. Sometimes those, like Perkins, known for practical ministry are considered peripheral to the world of scholarly discourse; Frost remedies this misconception and expands our understanding of a living legend.

Dr. Frost captures the work of justice through the lens of John Perkins. Having been in Mississippi, learned from John and seen the fruit of his decades of ministry in Mississippi, I am thankful Dr. Frost has not only captures his life, but also how he has biblically thought through an ethnic of justice and how we minister in an unjust world. A must read for anyone seeking to do likewise.
Otis W. Pickett, Clemson University
