Cornel West: Justice, Not Revenge

In this episode of The Just Life with Benjamin Watson, Dr. Cornel West, philosopher, public intellectual, and prophetic voice for justice, joins Benjamin for a wide-ranging conversation on love, truth, and the moral demands of our time. Drawing from his famous declaration that “justice is what love looks like in public,” Dr. West explores the meaning of prophetic love in an age marked by division, tribalism, and moral crisis. From addressing human suffering in Israel and Gaza to American militarism and the power of the blues they examine why love grounds justice, courage resists fear, and faith shapes public action. Rooted in the Black prophetic tradition, West urges us to reject double standards, find our voice and help make wrongs right.

Jesus in the Old Testament and the Reliability of Scripture

Nancy Guthrie has taught the Scriptures, written about them, and searched them for answers when tragedy struck her family. “ The Bible is the one thing in the world that the closer scrutiny you give to it,” she said, “the more it holds up.” Guthrie and Moore discuss Guthrie’s new book, Saved: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Acts; maintaining attention while studying Scripture; and interacting with the biblical text. They talk about praying with the Bible in hand, avoiding the stereotypes often projected onto female authors, and engaging with difficult passages. They consider what it looks like for modern Christians to follow God’s command not to call common what God has called clean and what it means that suffering is not the end of our stories—glory is. Resources mentioned in this episode or recommended by the guest include: Saved: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Acts by Nancy Guthrie The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament by Nancy Guthrie “It All Turns on Affection” Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament with Nancy Guthrie Nancy Guthrie “Preaching Christ in a Postmodern World” “Help Me Teach the Bible” The Gospel Coalition Women’s Conference Learn more about your ad choices.
