Roll Justice

Bible study on Amos 5:14-24 by Katie G. Cannon for the WCC Assembly, 1 November 2013: Asia is the continent of suffering and hope. On the one hand, the text focuses on people’s suffering and struggle for justice; on the other hand, it provides a vision of the reign of God. Moreover, it suggests concrete ways in which to live out kingdom values on earth through the achievement of justice and peace. Wrestling with the text to find ways to transform suffering, tears and despair into liberation, joy and hope, in the Bible and in our context, is the focus.

Fluya la justicia

Estudio bíblico sobre Amós 5:14-24, por Katie G. Cannon, para el tercer día de la Asamblea, 1 de noviembre 2013: Asia es el continente del sufrimiento y de la esperanza. Por un lado, el texto se centra en el sufrimiento y la lucha de la gente por la justicia; por otro lado, el texto ofrece una visión del reino de Dios. Además, el texto sugiere formas concretas de vivir los valores del reino en la Tierra mediante la consecución de la justicia y la paz. Lo importante es ahondar en el análisis del texto para encontrar los medios de transformar el sufrimiento, las lágrimas y la desesperanza en liberación, alegría y esperanza, en la Biblia y en nuestro contexto.
