2014 Best Books of Christian Global Concern, Runner Up, from Byron
Borger, Hearts and Minds Bookstore From the heart of Bethlehem,
from the heart of occupied land, comes a theology to shake the
world-a theology of hope, peace and justice. Legendary
singer-songwriter Garth Hewitt has traveled the globe, hearing the
echoes of God on the margins of society and in the cracks of the
world's empires. Along with his justice-seeking organization the
Amos Trust, he has seen the plight of the street children of South
Africa, the Dalit community in India, the underprivileged in
Nicaragua and Palestinians in the heart of international conflict
in the Holy Land. Here he collects those echoes into a unified
voice, calling for the Prince of Peace to reign from Bethlehem to
the ends of the earth. Laying out a "Bethlehem theology" for
justice and reconciliation that emerges out of the story of Jesus'
prophesied birth, Occupied Territories demonstrates itself in
action in the present. Recounting stories from a network of
community projects around the world, Hewitt raises awareness of and
provides support for those working toward liberation, addressing
the root causes of injustice and poverty. A lifestyle of justice is
an integral part of the Bible message, as Christians seek to stand
up to skewed power systems, racial tensions and our own biases. As
Christ-followers in the Kingdom of God, we are to stand with
confidence on issues of human rights and justice-we are people of
hope because there is a gospel of hope. Let us model what a
community of justice may look like as we face the forces of
domination with the light and lifestyle of this gospel.
