Will the Real God Please Stand Up? The Search for Justice in the Old Testament - God as Vindicator and Deliverer: Justice in the Pentateuch

Lecture given Monday, September 22, 2008, 8:30 AM at Abilene Christian University: "These lessons explore biblical resources for our pursuit of justice. While justice and love often are played against each other, in the Bible they are complementary features of God's redemptive work. Justice is more than punishment for sin. Justice is commitment to a reality in which all humans have enough power, status and wealth to function as human beings made in God's image."
