What does the Bible have to say about justice, and what relevance
has this for people, particularly Christians, today? 'Justice: The
Biblical Challenge' offers readers a balanced assessment of the
biblical treatment of justice and what we might learn from this.
The book opens with a brief overview of the differing social
contexts which shaped how people thought about justice in biblical
times. The examples of justice are grouped under three key
narratives: the story of creation (justice as cosmic order), the
story of the Exodus (justice as faithfulness), and the story of
Israel (justice as a community of equals). The story of Jesus in
Mark is then examined as exemplifying all three narratives. The
book then applies these biblical stories to the world we live in
now, applying an innovative 'justice audit' which uses the three
biblical narratives of justice as yardsticks. The book concludes
with an exploration of how readers might apply the ideas raised in
the book to working for justice.
