As if justice and Christianity cannot coexist, the pursuit of a just society has led many to abandon their faith. What should we make of this? Dr. Michael O. Emerson joins us to talk about his recent article “Goodbye Christ. I’ve Got Justice Duty.” Together, we ask how does individualism affect how justice is understood within particular Christian communities? Has justice been politicized? What is American Christianity’s role within the current polarized political climate? How can the Church pursue justice while maintaining a faithful witness to the Kingdom of God? All that and more on this edition of Questions From The Pew.
