Bible
Foundation of a Judeo-Christian vision of life... discloses the kind of God.
God who is interested in the world, in human history, and a manner in which humans live in community.
Sedaqah
Righteousness
Sedeq

JUSTICE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
Righteousness in the biblical sense, goes beyond personal rectitude of following rules, laws and commands. I has social character.
DONAHUE
“Biblical idea of justice can be describe as fidelity to the demands of a relationship”
Mishpat (mispat)
To judge
Mishpat
Characterized not simply as a judgement of God and his capability to punish and reward individuals but again it has a social dimension
God’s governance that places order in the society
Mishpat and sedaqah
Understood primarily within the context of Yahweh’s governance and one’s relationship both with Yahweh and his fellow human beings in the community, allows us to approcciate more the New Testament emphasis on the link between justice and charity
