Bible and Justice - Ancient Texts, Modern Challenges (Hardcover)

The Bible contains a variety of passages that defend the poor and champion the cause of the oppressed, but are these ancient texts able to find a voice in confronting injustice in the modern world? This selection of papers, compiled from the proceedings of the 2008 Conference on Bible and Justice at the University of Sheffield, address this question. Bible and Justice: Ancient Texts, Modern Challenges explores the various ways in which the Bible might effectively confront an array of human rights, poverty and environmental concerns, while considering the difficulties that arise when ancient concepts of justice are applied to modern socio-political ideals. Written to be accessible to those outside the field of biblical studies, this volume will be a valuable resource for both academics and non-academics alike.
