A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
A biblical account of shalom that connects personal faith with racial, economic, gender, and ecological repair.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Why it’s in the Library
It helps travelers see why personal reconciliation and public justice need not compete inside Christian faith. The book expands the scale of good news while retaining a recognizable biblical center.
Good starting place if…
The gospel you inherited focused mainly on individual salvation and you want a biblical account that also includes relationships, communities, systems, and creation.
Know before you begin…
Harper writes from Christian commitment and develops shalom as a wide theological frame for racial, economic, gender, and ecological repair. Readers should distinguish this constructive synthesis from a complete treatment of every issue it gathers.
