In this Red Letter Christians Book Club conversation, we chat with Father Joash Thomas to explore his bestselling book, The Justice of Jesus — a Jesus-centered, Empire-informed reading of Scripture that reimagines a faith that unites rather than divides and stands firmly with neighbors on the margins.
Father Joash Thomas is a priest, public theologian, and bestselling author. Drawing from his St. Thomas Christian roots, he helps audiences reimagine a faith rooted in a more contemplative yet courageous activism, shaped by the grace-filled, non-violent way of Jesus. Born and raised in India, Fr. Joash served as a U.S. political consultant and lobbyist before pivoting to global human rights advocacy. Now based in the Toronto area, he holds a master’s degree in Political Management from The George Washington University and two master’s degrees from Dallas Theological Seminary in Christian Leadership and Theology. An ordained priest in the Diocese of St. Anthony, he is the author of the #1 Amazon Canada Bestseller in Liberation Theology, The Justice of Jesus (Brazos Press / Baker Publishing). He also serves on the leadership team at St. Stephen’s University as Director of Fundraising & Advancement and Instructor in Public Theology, Peace & Justice.
