Placing society's needs front and center, Heltzel calls for radical change and collective activism modeled on God's love and justice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In particular, Heltzel explores the social forms that love and justice can take as religious communities join together to build beloved cities. He proclaims the importance of improvising for justice -- likening the church's prophetic ministry to jazz music -- and develops a biblical theology of \u003ci\u003eshalom\u003c\/i\u003e justice. His vision draws inspiration from the black freedom struggle and the lives of Sojourner Truth, Howard Thurman, and Martin Luther King Jr. Pulsing with hope and beauty, \u003ci\u003eResurrection City\u003c\/i\u003e compels evangelical Christians to begin a global movement for love and justice that truly embodies the kingdom of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Goodwin Heltzel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
