The Little Book of Biblical Justice
(Seisho no Seigi)
Chris Marshall
In this powerful little book Chris Marshall addresses the many complexities surrounding justice in the Bible. He addresses why the Bible, at times, seems to hold conflicting points of view, and discusses the intricacies of differentiating the cultures of biblical times with the culture of our present world today. Marshall's honest treatment of this subject is direct, yet compassionate in tone. He manages a thorny, multi-faceted subject clearly and ultimately singles out the broad areas of theological agreement among the Bible's writers. The Bible has had a profound impact on the development of Western culture. So exploring biblical perspectives on justice can help us appreciate some of the convictions and values that have helped shape Western political and judicial thought. Christians also regard the Bible as a uniquely important source of guidance on matters of belief and practice. What the Bible has to say about justice, therefore?both social justice and criminal justice?ought to be of great significance for Christian thought and action today. Yet coming to grips with biblical teaching on justice is by no means easy. Chapters here include: What is Justice?; Justice in the Biblical Worldview; The Contours of Biblical Justice, Jesus and Justice. Highly stimulating. Highly inspirational. Dr. Marshall holds the St. John's Senior Lectureship in Christian Theology at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. B6 size, 128 pp. ISBN978-4-264-04240-2 \1,300+
