GFI Book Series: Cross-Disciplinary Encounters with Theology

Infusing Christian thought into research universities worldwide by stimulating lively conversations among disciplinary scholars and leading theologians on the terrain of great themes in the Christian faith.

Justice and Rights: Nicholas Wolterstorff in Dialogue with the University 

World-renowned theologian Nicholas Wolterstorff engages academics from across five continents in humanities, social sciences, law and public policy, medicine and the sciences. Together they explore how justice and rights relate to the substance of their scholarship and academic practices. In compact briefs and notes that are quickly and easily read, the contributors powerfully grapple with many of the most pressing issues of our time—from climate change, COVID, racial injustice and history wars, to economic justice, disasters, sexual violence, space communications, global justice, health care, and much else.
