Passion for Justice: Retrieving the Legacies of Walter Rauschenbusch, John A. Ryan, and Reinhold Niebuhr

This is an excellent book about theology, ethics, and public policy as reflected in the thought and lives of Walter Rauschenbusch, John A. Ryan, and Reinhold Niebuhr – three individuals who have had great impact on Christian thinking about justice. Harlan Beckley shows how each man’s conception of justice was informed by and cohered with his theology. This book is the most thorough study of the theory of justice in the work of these important social thinkers.
