Social Justice in the Bible

I will be attempting to write a series of hopefully short, concise, but powerful commentaries on certain passages and concepts in the Bible that have really spoken to me about social justice. Some will address our lifestyles and convictions, some contain practical advice, all are utopian and far beyond anything we can do by our own means. To shorten the titles, they will be divided into SJ in the OT (Social Justice in the Old Testament) and SJ in the NT (New Testament) as well as being broken down into each concept. I expect to do 10 or so parts on each Testament.

I pray that God would guide me as I interpret and apply these texts, and that our Father in Heaven would impress upon all of us Biblical truths about this topic.

I firmly believe that what the Bible says about social justice, in both the Old and New Testaments, has implications for us today and is the most valuable source that all of humanity could use to approach living in the most equal and healthy society possible. May you come to share that thought…
