Should a Christian Lawyer Sign up for Simon's Practice of Justice?

Abstract

[T]he baptismal imagination of the New Testament is so peculiar and so particular because Christians are always odd men and women come together in odd communities and congregations, always at odds, always at risk, always in the presence of large cultural empires that want to dissolve our oddity for reasons of state .... We are forever reimagining and retelling and reliving our lives through the scandal of Friday and the rumor of Sunday. We, like Jews, devise signals of oddity, the notice of new life, the bread of brokenness, the wine of blessedness, and the neighbor-always the neighbor-who is for us a signal of the love of God.
