Pursuing Biblical Justice in a Secular World: Part 1
This podcast episode delves into the concept of biblical justice, contrasting it with various secular theories of justice prevalent in society. Drawing from Tim Keller's article 'A Biblical Critique of Secular Justice and Critical Theory,' David and Rob discuss the complexities of understanding justice from a biblical perspective, highlighting the nuances missed by secular viewpoints. The discussion covers Keller's breakdown of biblical justice into five components - community, equity, corporate and individual responsibility, and advocacy - and critiques four major secular justice theories (libertarian, liberal, utilitarian, and postmodern) for their limitations. The episode emphasizes the need for Christians to comprehend and communicate a biblically grounded concept of justice that acknowledges human sinfulness, promotes a common humanity, and focuses on the Gospel's transformational power.
