joem@highrock.orgHighrock Beyond Bars invites you to an eight week book study and learning community, Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal, Matthew T. Martens.
Matthew Martens writes an extensive critique of the criminal justice system. He applies the biblically just ideas of accuracy, due process, accountability, impartiality and proportionality to bear on the entirety of our legal system from the formation of a law to sentencing and punishment. Each participant will come away with a deeper understanding of our legal system and targets for reform.
Participants in this learning community will:
Required: Purchase Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal, by Matthew T. Martens.
Throughout our sessions, we will focus on spiritual formation. Each gathering will begin with a spiritual practice and/or devotional that will incline our mind and affections up towards God. More than information, our interest is transformation and action.
We recommend reading the assigned sections for each week, though it is not required. We will read some portions during our sessions so you’ll need to have a copy of the book with you when we meet. The more familiar someone is with the content of each chapter, the greater the benefit.
We do expect that each participant will consider how they will make a non-zero response to what we are learning.
