The Bible is not written as a handbook for lawyers, politicians and
civil servants setting out a theology of human law. Its concern is
the dealings of God with human beings and of human beings with God.
What then does the Bible have to say about human laws and legal
systems? Looking back to the Old Testament, to the Mosaic Law, the
biblical model of kingship and the prophetic call to justice,
barrister David McIlroy presents a Christian perspective on the
biblical view of law and justice. He also examines the claims and
teachings of Christ as King, specifically contrasting these with
Caesar, a king of the world. The book then concludes with a
reflection on the place of human laws in the light of the Last
Judgment. A Biblical View of Law and Justice seeks to wrestle with
the biblical message of justice, giving Christian lawyers, civil
servants and politicians a renewed vision and understanding of the
potential of their work in the post-Christendom world.
