About this Item

Neuware - Amos, a fig farmer, journeyed from Judah with the smell of sheep dung clinging to his sandals to warn of pernicious inequality in his world. He was a God-endued, bombastic, justice warrior, decrying injustice to the poor, eight centuries before Christ. With blistering rhetoric, Amos strips the veneer off religious activity and those playing at faith who exploited humanity for personal gain. This prophet declared in-your-face consequences for social sins practiced by all mankind. Amos confronts racial hatred, slavery, wealth inequality, indignant bullying, judicial injustice, and social prejudice.A study through Amos communicates God's view and cure for social injustice. Since God does not change, and man is still a sinner, this study is as relevant today as the morning news. We in the west, are chronologically and geographically far from Amos, our moral, spiritual, and cultural conditions are very similar. We in the western church are far closer to the human conditions God condemned nearly 2700 years in the past than we realize. Therefore, to bring Amos onto today's soil, we must first meet him in his own setting.

About this title

Synopsis

When God speaks through a shepherd, nations should listen.
In Justice or Judgment, Charles Rushing brings the fiery message of the prophet Amos to life for today’s world—a world still wrestling with greed, corruption, and spiritual apathy. With clarity, humor, and heartfelt conviction, Rushing reminds readers that God’s justice is never cruel but always redemptive; His goal is restoration, not ruin.

Through vivid storytelling and real-world parallels, this book calls believers to personal integrity, compassionate faith, and courage to stand for truth even when it’s unpopular. Whether you’re a lifelong student of Scripture or opening the Minor Prophets for the first time, Justice or Judgment will renew your vision of a God who still roars for righteousness—and still offers mercy to those who return to Him.

Discover how one ancient prophet can still speak to our modern hearts.
