Social Justice
I’ve got to admit that trendy terms makes me queasy and this particular jargonish expression has a double dose of blechishness for me. If I had my way, we’d simply call it justice when we are giving people what is rightly owed to them, and works of mercy or compassion when we feed the hungry and provide clothing, shelter, etc. for the needy. Who knows what the term social justice really means, anyway?
Still, I’m pointing you to Kevin DeYoung’s series of posts examining major “social justice” passages in scripture. “My contention”, he says, “is that these passages say more and less than we think, more about God’s heart for justice than some realize, and less about contemporary ‘social justice’ than many imagine.” All in all, DeYoung will look at seven texts, and these are the first three.

"Social justice" is a big term among some of the bible college students at my church. There is one. It has such a nice, altruistic ring to it, I guess.
