What is justice? What is right? What is wrong? Is there even a difference? Plato explores these question is his Republic. He explores it through his mentor, Socrates; he presents “elaborate theories, sometimes expressed by Socrates, who is by far the most common main character,” says Alexander Nehamas, in his book Virtues of Authenticity (Nehamas). In Republic, Socrates begins conversing with Polermarchus, Cephalus, Glaucon, Thrasymachus, and Adeimantus. The question arises “What is justice?”…

As the Minister of Justice, it is important to remember that justice is served to the right people and in this case it is the people who have been threatened by The Purple Shirts and have lost someone due to their absurd rules. There is a strong amount of people who want to punish these Grudge Informers thus, it is important that we provide them justice through law. By using the court and laws as means to accomplish their murderous intentions, the Grudge Informers’ actions were certainly cruel…

A significance of the above is that legal justice is not absolute justice but is the kind of justice appropriate to the activity of doing law (Beever, Allan, 2004).

of The Upside Down Kingdom. I further hope to engage the congregation, as well as individuals, in new ways of thinking about liberation, ethics, and justice. Within the context of the Abundant Life Center, I believe the true meaning of these words have been minimized or lack of direction given in our ministries. Kraybill states, for example, “Justice has become a worn out, hallow expression, an abstract and detached battle cry.” The congregation struggles, just as Kraybill stated much of…

The parable has profoundly transformed our understanding of love and justice and defies reason in favor of a sacrificial love. Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us that the Samaritan did two things that we, as Christians, also ought to do when encountering someone in need and who deserves justice .i.e., to go beyond universal altruism and go the extra mile by possessing dangerous altruism and excessive altruism. The Samaritan put the…
