The Gospel as Social Revolution

Jesus was clear: Love God, love your neighbor as you love yourself. We have separated the holistic teaching of Jesus into two categories, word and deed, creating a dualism that leaves neither side with the full story. 

Although this book grew out of research, it is practically focused on helping the Church see its role in transforming society by caring for its neighbors. The goal is to encourage the church to reach a lost world by holistically caring for needs--physical and spiritual. The final chapter contains a model demonstrating how this approach brought hope and healing to a South African township community that can be replicated in most corners of the world.
