"Our culture often pits forgiveness against justice," writes staff editor Haleluya Hadero this week in her review of Living Beyond Offense: Doing the Hard Work of Forgiveness God’s Way. But biblical forgiveness, offered freely, "is not a license to abuse." |
|
"However," she continues, "it does force us to trust in God and his plan—and his promise to accomplish it according to his righteous wisdom." |
|
That kind of trust is at work in the testimonies shared by contributor Justin Giboney in his new book, Don’t Let Nobody Turn You Around: How The Black Church’s Public Witness Leads Us Out of the Culture War. Women like his grandmother, Willie Faye, and the gospel star Mahalia Jackson "recognized social justice as a required part of the kingdom plan" while also recognizing that the "‘whole counsel of God’ was more than the justice imperative alone." |

This week on The Bulletin: Violence in Nigeria, Tucker Carlson’s interview with alt-right Nazi sympathizer Nick Fuentes, and JD Vance’s comments about his interfaith marriage. |
|
"[It’s] something Paul talks about in his letters to the Corinthians: ‘What happens when a Christian person finds themselves married to a non-Christian person?’ It’s less a product of the culture and more a product of the complexities of religious conversion." | Listen here. |

The Christian story shows us that grace often comes from where we least expect. In this issue, we look at the corners of God’s kingdom and chronicle in often-overlooked people, places, and things the possibility of God’s redemptive work. We introduce the Compassion Awards, which report on seven nonprofits doing good work in their communities. We look at the spirituality underneath gambling, the ways contemporary Christian music was instrumental in one historian’s conversion, and the steady witness of what may be Wendell Berry’s last novel. All these pieces remind us that there is no person or place too small for God’s gracious and cataclysmic reversal. |
