The Advent of Justice was first published in 1993 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the CJL Foundation and Citizens for Public Justice (CPJ). Responding to God''s call for love, justice, and stewardship, the CJL Foundation and CPJ have been at the forefront of research and advocacy in areas such as poverty and unemployment, economics, and social justice, aboriginal rights, refugees, energy policy and the environment.The republication of The Advent of Justice celebrates more than 50 years of faithful witness for justice by CJL and CPJ.In this book of reflections, four friends come together to lead us more deeply into Advent as a time of profound hope for the coming of God''s good kingdom of shalom while also a time of lament and anguish in the face of injustice.
