In Resurrecting Justice, theologian Douglas Harink invites listeners to rediscover Romans as a treatise on justice. He traces Paul's thinking on this theme through a sequential reading of the book, finding in each passage facets of the gospel's primary claim - that God accomplishes justice in the death and resurrection of Jesus Messiah. By rendering forms of the Greek word dikaiosyne as "just" or "justice", Harink emphasizes the inseparability of personal, social, and political uprightness that was clear to Paul but is obscured in modern translations.

Of the thousands of books about the life of Jesus of Nazareth, most tell us what the faithful believe about him...or more accurately, what they've been told to believe he said, did and what it means! What, however, can be said about the real-life Jesus? Is the story of Jesus just a legend, or did he actually walk the shores of Galilee? Did Jesus actually say what's in the New Testament Gospels, or are all the words there merely attributed to him? And does anything purported to be his message, his Good News, have any relevance to the people of the 21st Century?

Christ never actually told us how to "do church". Yes, he had a lot to say about the church, but what he did say was mostly unrelated to stylistic issues or contextual trends. He never spoke about its leadership hierarchies or the pros and cons of denominational fellowships or the types of music. And yet, much of our time and energy as leaders and shepherds is consumed by chasing after tips, tricks, and secrets to "grow" churches.
