Journeying to Justice provides the very first comprehensive
appraisal of the tumultuous journey towards equity and
reconciliation amongst British and Jamaican Baptists across two
centuries of Christian missionary work, in which slavery,
colonialism and racism has loomed large. This ground-breaking text
brings together scholars and practitioners, lay and ordained,
peoples from a variety of culturally and ethnically diverse
backgrounds, all speaking to the enduring truth of the gospel of
Christ as a means of effecting social, political and spiritual
transformation. Journeying to Justice reminds us that the way of
Christ is that of the cross and that grace is always costly and
being a disciple demands commitment to God and to others with whom
we walk this journey of faith. At a time when the resurgence of
nationalism is threatening to polarise many nations this text
reminds us that in Christ there is solidarity amongst all peoples.
This superb collection of Samuel Rutherford's letters includes a
biographical account of his life, together with a copious
arrangement of notes and an appendix. As one of Scotland's foremost
theologians and authors in the 17th century, Samuel Rutherford was
a gifted and busy wordsmith. Throughout a career spanning decades,
he wrote a series of valued books on both religious topics and
Presbyterianism in the political sphere. A lively and engaged
thinker, Rutherford's life and thoughts offers a good portrayal of
the evolution in both church and state in his era. Although most
known for his ideas on constitutionalism and on military
principles, Samuel Rutherford in the day-to-day lived for ordinary
men and women believers who frequented his church in
Kirkcudbrightshire, Galloway. He would often pay visits to the
sick, correspond with their families, and offer emotional comfort
and reassurance in times of difficulty.
