Publisher's Summary
Many Christians struggle to connect their faith with social justice. If God is a loving god then why does he allow injustices to exist? What does God's word have to say about poverty and racism? If God loves immigrants and the poor then why do so many Christians actually promote injustice? One point two million young people are leaving the church in America every year--many because of the broken witness of numerous Christians toward immigrants, the poor, the disabled, and the incarcerated. The faithful life, witness, and writings of Bartolomé de Las Casas offer understanding and answers to the many "whys" being asked by so many young people.
Though he lived 500 years ago, Las Casas wrestled with many of the same theological questions raised by young Christians today. As a pastor, he was one of the first to write Christian books documenting and condemning racial abuses toward Native Americans. Today, we still have much to learn from Las Casas about faithful Christian witness.
