Justice, Mercy, and Well-Being

“This fine collection of essays by seasoned scholars offers a treasure trove of insights into what it means to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God, all of which are fundamental to human flourishing and societal well-being. At a time when the social, political, and even environmental fabric of our civilization is under enormous stress, there is much to learn from these thoughtful contributions.”

“‘Who cares in a world where justice and mercy seldom meet?’ This timeless and challenging question opens this book. This important interdisciplinary volume probes the relationship between justice and mercy from various perspectives resulting in a thought-provoking, challenging, and even convicting message. Our world is broken and desperately needs direction. In a time when society at large is grappling (often unsuccessfully) with justice and mercy, these essays will shine light from a Christian perspective on these topics.”
