Tina and Chris Webb, mother and son, share their view of justice as Christian African-Americans.
In the Introduction, they write,"To truly see justice as God does, as believers, we study the Scriptures. Our understanding deepens, and our consciences are pricked as each of us realizes that His ways are not our ways, His thoughts are not our thoughts. We then wrestle with God, driven by our personal views and experiences with injustice. At some point, we lay on the ground like Jacob, knowing that our grappling has produced a greater dependence on our Creator. God is good and loves us--He created us to be loved by Him. Therefore He cares when any member of this created race of human beings feels the pain of injustice or is the perpetrator of injustice. From this foundation, recognizing that justice is the by-product of God's care, we can view our actions and inspect our formed opinions. Only then will we know how to discern and address any injustice around us rightly."
