— A Theology of Justice —

Dear friend,

 

 

- Romans 12:2 -

 

This week’s newsletter is a feature from Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez, one of our speakers for Verity Conference this year. Her session is on a theology of justice: how do we understand God’s justice, how do we live justice authentically, and how do we discern the competing ideas about justice in today’s world? Below are the four main points Pri will be discussing in her Verity session during the simulcast October 3–4.

 

Justice: the call to live in righteousness, without partiality—a call many of us struggle to walk out. Yet justice is inherent to God’s personality! Below are four important truths about Christians and justice to take with you as you discern how to live out this important characteristic of our God. 

 

Romans 12:2 calls us to resist being shaped by the world and instead renew our minds through God’s truth. Living in a diverse society with conflicting ideologies (like Rome or modern-day America), Christians need discernment to identify what aligns with God's will.

 

Justice isn’t a modern or “woke” idea—it’s a biblical one rooted in both Old and New Testaments. Scripture shows justice across genres and stories, proving it's a consistent theme and a reflection of God’s heart, not a side issue. The minor prophets in particular emphasize this point. (And . . . sneak peek for November . . . Every Woman a Theologian’s Micah/Amos Bible study comes out in the November launch and talks about God’s justice too.)

 

Renewing your mind involves curiosity, humility, and openness to the Holy Spirit’s transformation—not clinging to tradition or human ideas. We must test all teaching (even from pastors or theologians) against Scripture, seeking God's truth over personal or cultural biases.

 

True justice flows from compassion, not guilt or pressure, and addresses all forms of dehumanization. Christians are called to live justly with freedom, courage, and humility, guided by Scripture and the Spirit—not public opinion or distorted theology.
