Inner Light. The Holy Spirit and Social Justice (en Inglés) - Grace Ji-Sun Kim;Stephen W. Angell

In a globalized world, people are migrating, moving, and being pushed to new lands due to economic or climate crises. As cultures and religions collide, the need to develop a pneumatology has become vitally important. Grace Ji-Sun Kim and Stephen Angell explore how the Spirit is pertinent in a globalizing world.

Inner Light offers a historical and theological introduction to the Holy Spirit from a liberation theology and Quaker perspective. Kim and Angell explore how the Holy Spirit provides life and empowerment for those who are suffering and disenfranchised today. The four social areas of concern--economics, gender and sexuality, environment, and peacemaking--intersect and illustrate how injustice in one area affects injustice in other areas. These major injustices that permeate our culture and society need to be examined and addressed if a just society is to be achieved. Inner Light will illustrate how it is the work of the Holy Spirit to tackle issues of economics, gender and sexuality, ecology and the environment, and peace and disarmament.

Through the movement of the Holy Spirit, it is possible to address these social concerns of our time and build a kin-dom of God that is lifegiving to humanity and all of God's creation. The Spirit helps us overcome economic injustice, gender injustice, climate injustice, and war-making. Inner Light recognizes the need for people of faith to call upon the Spirit to come into our lives to help us work for justice.
