There ia particular focus on racial justice and a discussion of four Evangelical Movement. Focus on the family, National Association of Evangelicals, Christian Community Developmant Association and Sojourners. These organizations which all emphasize the role of Jesus Christ, do vary across the political spectrum. On the whole, they tend to be political conservatives. There is an emphasis on the suffering of the Blacks in Amerirca, and a demonstration of how the Evangelical Movement is involved with politics, Aids, and the enviroment. A basic characteristic of Evangelicals is their goal of speading the word of God. After reading the Jesus and Justice, I am impressed by the variety of response to the messege of Jesus by the Evangelics. I realize that a true follower of Jesus Christ needs to go into the community and work for racial justice. Evangelicals who are conservative seem to me to be difficient in this regard. I would not hesitate to recommed this book to individuals and groups who have an active interest in social betterment.
