Practising Justice
“Practising Justice is an inspiring call to action for all who seek to embody faith through justice, embracing justice as a lifelong journey of growth and commitment. As we engage with its insights, we are reminded that true justice requires unwavering dedication and a heart open to continual learning.”—Dr Dilys Brooks, Campus Chaplain, Loma Linda University
Those who practise justice see wrong and work to right it—to replace oppression with freedom, disadvantage with equity, evil with good. Historically, many campaigns for justice had strong roots in faith, but more and more movements are now seeking change apart from this foundation for transformation and resilience.
Practising Justice is an invitation to consider how faith can help make sense of the need for justice and how the roots of faith can ground and sustain this necessary work. Drawing insights from the Bible and the Civil Rights Movement, this book explores “Ten Commandments” for practising justice—getting better at it by doing it repeatedly over time—and overcoming intractable injustice with hope and love.
“Any book can be judged by the consequences it brings about in the thoughts and actions of the reader. In Practising Justice, Nathan has achieved a book that is capable of both challenging and encouraging my thoughts and actions in equal measure. In short, it is consequential.”—Mark Webster, Chief Strategy Officer, Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA)

A thought provoking and challenging book on how we as a Christians should follow the radical example of Jesus and stand up for social justice. I believe a timely book with the current state of our world too. We are a divided world and we have forgotten how to have a discourse without demonising anyone with a different opinion to us. It’s easier to just stay quiet and out of the firing line! A recent study I read (the quiet revolution) talks about millennials and Gen Z needing to see their church stand up and be at the front line of social justice causes, and too often we as a church are nowhere to be seen.
Practicing Justice explores how we are designed and called to live in hope and seek justice with a call to action. “..authentic hope is not merely about receiving light or understanding, but it is a call to act.” In Part 2 the dive into the ten commitments that the Civil Rights Movement under Martin Luther King jr explores how commitment and courage drove a peaceful revolution for change. Nathan points out that for most of us “we live with the tension that Dr King identified, “uneasy with injustice but unwilling yet to pay a significant price to eradicate it.”” For each of the commitments he draws out its relevance for us particularly in our current climate and importantly Nathan provides practical challenges on living out each of these commitments in our daily lives.
I will be recommending this read to my church leaders, and giving a lot more thought on what practicing justice looks like for me personally and also corporately for my local church.
