Officially launched in September 2009 at Parliament House Canberra and presented to PM Kevin Rudd, this Bible has brought a loud and timely reminder of the Bible's compassion for the poor and oppressed and its call to urgent action.
CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH VERSION
Almost every page of the Bible speaks of God's heart for the poor. His concern for the marginalised. His compassion for the oppressed. His call for justice. The Poverty and Justice Bible highlights more than 2,000 verses that spell out God's attitude to poverty and justice.
This edition includes endorsements from notable Australian Christian leaders including Rev Tim Costello (World Vision Australia), Rt Rev Robert Forsyth (Bishop of Sydney), Amanda Jackson (Micah Challenge), Darlene Zschech (Hillsong worship leader), Mark de Jong (Parachute Music), and many more.
The Poverty and Justice Bible also features in-depth studies and practical suggestions on tackling poverty and injustice.
