Righteousness
This provocative series emphatically sets out a biblical understanding of Righteousness. It teaches that Righteousness is more than ‘living right.’ But Righteousness is to live in accordance with the pre-existent design of God for how ‘man’ should live out their complex lives on the earth. By carefully studying the life of Christ, the Son of God we are introduced to the template of the Righteous One. By discovering God’s blueprint for the human race, we are encouraged to return to the ancient blueprint of Righteousness so that God’s salvific work can be completed in the world.
