Hearing the Call: Liturgy, Justice, Church, and World - Paperback

by Nicholas Wolterstorff (Author), Mark Gornik (Editor), Greg Thompson (Editor)

What is the Word of the Lord for a world of injustice? What does it mean to hear the cries of the oppressed? What does liturgy have to do with justice? These questions have been at the heart of Nicholas Wolterstorff's work for over forty years. In this collection of essays, he brings together personal, historical, theological, and contemporary perspectives to issue a passionate call to work for justice and peace.

An essential complement to his now classic Until Justice and Peace Embrace, the forthcoming Love and Justice, and Justice, this book makes clear why Wolterstorff is one of the church's most incisive and compelling voices. Between the Times invites us not simply into new ways of thinking, but a transformational way of life.
