Hearing the Call: Liturgy, Justice, Church, and World
What is the Word of the Lord for a world of injustice? What does it mean to hear the cries of the oppressed? What does liturgy have to do with justice? These questions have been at the heart of Nicholas Wolterstorff's work for over forty years. In this collection of essays, he brings together personal, historical, theological, and contemporary perspectives to issue a passionate call to work for justice and peace. An essential complement to his now classic Until Justice and Peace Embrace, the forthcoming Love and Justice, and Justice, this book makes clear why Wolterstorff is one of the church's most incisive and compelling voices. Between the Times invites us not simply into new ways of thinking, but a transformational way of life.

Praise for this book
"From Minnesota to Palestine, Kuyper to Boesak, autobiography to human rights theory, and church architecture to the theology of lament, this marvelous array of essays, letters, and interviews displays throughout an incarnate Christian intelligence that loves the world even when prophesying against it, and marries philosophical clarity with human honesty. Nick Wolterstorff's Hearing the Call fascinates, illuminates, moves, and heartens. Bravo!"
-- Nigel Biggar
University of Oxford "Wolterstorff is a rare Christian writer who moves with grace from writ to rite to rights."
-- Gabriel Fackre
Andover Newton Theological School "It is a real delight to have these essays of Nicholas Wolterstorff collected and readily available once again. Wolterstorff is one of the cannily perceptive authors who made the Reformed Journal legendary in its day for wit, insight, and gravitas. His essays gathered from that source, and many others, are a feast for heart and mind together."
