Civil societies and individuals around the world have given prominence to social justice for decades. The internet provides a unique opportunity for Christian social justice blog and bloggers to give a unique perspective of the issues. This is a theological reflection grounded on scriptural teachings. Most of the bloggers are either scholars in theology or under the direction of churches and religious organizations.

Among the pertinent issues discussed on blogs is democracy and good governance. Governments in different continents are involved in actions that have a direct impact on lives of their citizens. The bloggers highlight these actions and interrogate the actions of these governments with the aim of seeking the best way forward. Bloggers are keen to interrogate election cycles and actions as a crucial part of government formation.

Environmental degradation has been a concern over the last decade considering the devastating effects climate change has had on different populations. Ecosystems and inhabitants of different areas have borne the blunt of this degradation. Bloggers seek to provide a Christian perspective and understanding that will reduce the dangers climate change poses on populations. Bloggers are also pushing governments to take deliberate actions to reduce environmental degradation.

Management of economies by governments is fundamental in making the lives of citizens easier or difficult. Social justice bloggers highlight economic policies and the impact they have on daily lives of citizens in these nations. They castigate policies that are considered oppressive to the silent majority. It is the input of independent and religious experts that makes the blogs professionals as opposed to shallow wishful rhetoric.

The world rarely sees a dawn where the sounds of guns and violence are not heard. Besides border conflicts, there are ethnic and religious confrontations in different parts of the world. This is a common issue for bloggers. There are victims who require highlighting and justice. The bloggers also seek to pinpoint the issues that would lead to an amicable resolution to such conflicts.

Health challenges are at the core of the activities of most Christian organizations. They run hospitals and clinics wherever they are based.

Bloggers in the health sphere are professionally trained and religiously inclined to provide a unique perspective to health matters. By addressing the health of Christians, the church will bring up an all rounded individual.

Advances in technology have transformed the world tremendously. There are inventions with the capability of transforming the lives of individuals in a flash. Other inventions can wipe out humanity in the blink of an eye. As such social justice bloggers track these developments to ensure that such inventions are not abused and to enable people to take maximum advantage of technology.

Social justice platforms under Christians and related organizations provide a reflective, independent, professional and detailed coverage of different issues. They provide a scriptural grounding to align their work with theological perspectives existing in the world.
