If God is love, then how do we make sense of the evil we see everywhere in the world?
 
In What If Jesus Was Serious about Justice?, Skye Jethani explores what the Bible really says about God's restorative justice and how he punishes evil and rewards good. The fifth in Jethani's popular What If Jesus Was Serious? series, this guide includes the author's hand-drawn illustrations in each accessible chapter.
 
Jethani examines the biblical understanding of justice as the restoration of right relationships both among people and between people and God. He considers themes of judgment and mercy in Jesus's ministry and explains Jesus's warnings about God's final judgment of those opposed to his kingdom of justice.
 
Readers will emerge with a better understanding of God's love, wrath, the cross, eternity, and more. In addition, Christians will find new ways to bridge the divide in the church over the importance of personal salvation and communal justice.
