“People who are passionate for justice often become self-righteous and cruel when they confront persons whom they perceive as being oppressors,” Keller wrote in Making Sense of God.29 Only the gospel can unite tolerance and justice. “The Gospel of Jesus Christ provides a non-oppressive absolute truth, one that provides a norm outside of ourselves as the way to escape relativism and selfish individualism, yet one that cannot be used to oppress others.”
