Is Social Concern a Christian Concern?
What is a Christian’s contribution in the political, social and economic realms? From where do Christians draw our ethics to inform our activities in the public sphere?
Does our life in Jesus inform only the private life but not the public life? Is it normal or acceptable for Christians to have Bible-based convictions on their private matters such as marriage fidelity, but no Bible-based convictions on the socio-economic situation of the world he or she is living in? Is it normal for Christians to hold the highest standards on sexual sin, but be lax on racial discrimination?
The example of Jesus Christ shows His boldness in confronting the social issues of his time as a prophetic voice, yet Christians seem to have many reasons not to be involved in such matters.
