SBC Leader Recommends Book Promoting Social Justice, Favoritism for Oppressed Classes
(Capstone Report) NAMB VP Dhati Lewis recommends book that denies penal substitutionary atonement. Book argues that justice is not always impartial. Book argues God demands preference for Oppressed classes.
What is biblical justice? It isn’t remotely close to what a book promoted by the Southern Baptist Convention’s North American Mission Board church plant leader claims. In fact, a book recommended by NAMB VP Dhati Lewis argues that to do justice often requires injustice and to be fair sometimes requires acting in unfair ways. The Little Book of Biblical Justice was recommended by Dhati Lewis in an email exchange with Kyle Whitt. (Emails available here.)

Who do BLM and those who promote “Social Justice” always promote and elevate as the victims and examples of injustice, oppression and as examples of being marginalized? Hint: It isn’t those exhibiting the best behavior within whatever group of people they’ve classified as a group, it’s always those exhibiting the worst behavior. Biblically, those individuals should be marginalized.
‘Book argues God demands preference for Oppressed classes.’
They are wrong, but so are all those pathologically and vehemently oppose genuine restorative justice to the economically marginalised. If they are indeed guilty of introducing Marxist theory into Christian faith, you are also guilty of introducing hard right wing politics into Christian faith! Neither is acceptable.
