Justice for the Poor Video Bible Study by Jim Wallis:

When the wealthy are dying from diseases of overabundance and the poor are dying from inadequate health care, poor diets, and stress-related illnesses, there is spiritual disease in society. Jesus’ life and teaching shows a deep compassion toward the poor and marginalized. His messages often highlight the injustices shown to the poor and the prejudices the well-off have against them. How can we learn from the poor? What is our responsibility to care for the poor and to advocate for justice on their behalf? In this six-session video-based study, Jim Wallis and Sojourners will engage you to take action.

These videos can be used for personal reflection or for group discussion with the companion PDF or printed participant’s guide (sold separately).
