Description
If God is love, then how do we make sense of the evil we see everywhere in the world?
In What If Jesus Was Serious about Justice?, Skye Jethani explores what the Bible really says about God's restorative justice and how he punishes evil and rewards good. The fifth in Jethani's popular What If Jesus Was Serious? series, this guide includes the author's hand-drawn illustrations in each accessible chapter.
Jethani examines the biblical understanding of justice as the restoration of right relationships both among people and between people and God. He considers themes of judgment and mercy in Jesus's ministry and explains Jesus's warnings about God's final judgment of those opposed to his kingdom of justice.
Readers will emerge with a better understanding of God's love, wrath, the cross, eternity, and more. In addition, Christians will find new ways to bridge the divide in the church over the importance of personal salvation and communal justice.

Advance Praise
“For far too long, many Christians have compartmentalized faith in a way that distorts the comprehensive gospel Jesus taught. This is especially true regarding matters of justice. For this reason, I’m thrilled that Skye Jethani has added this topic to his creative series of books. Skye Jethani offers robust theological insights in bite-sized servings, giving us just enough to chew on—and plenty to be changed by. If you’re looking for an introduction to a Christian understanding of justice, start here.”—Rich Villodas, lead pastor, New Life Fellowship; author of The Narrow Path
