Kemiskinan yang disebabkan oleh ketidakadilan sering menjadi topik perdebatan dalam forum akademis, politik, dan keagamaan. Alkitab juga menggambarkan kemiskinan yang timbul akibat ketidakadilan, baik dalam Perjanjian Lama maupun Perjanjian Baru. Penelitian ini berfokus pada isu kemiskinan yang disebabkan oleh ketidakadilan. Penulis dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan kepustakaan. Penulis mengeksplorasi isu ini melalui perspektif etis teologis Kristen, dengan tujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pertimbangan etis yang relevan dan bagaimana orang percaya serta gereja sebaiknya merespons dan menangani kemiskinan akibat ketidakadilan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perlunya sikap solider terhadap orang-orang miskin serta sikap protes terhadap tindakan ketidakadilan. miskin dan lemah. Keadilan dan kebenaran Allah harus ditegakkan dalam hububungan-hubungan antar manusia. Tsedeq dan mispat Allah seharusya menjadi dasar dalam menata kehidupan yang lebih baik, sehingga kemiskinan dan ketidakadilan yang ada dapat diatasi dan diminimalisir.
