Justice Reflects the Character of God
Why should we be concerned about the vulnerable ones? It is because God is concerned about them. Consider the following texts: He executes justice [mishpat] for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.

The world’s first systematic theology
Paul’s letter to the believers in Rome can be called many things. Clearly, this became his magnum opus. It is the first systematic theology of the Christian faith.

A history-changing letter
Travel back in time with me. Let’s go back to the winter of AD 57. We’re at a narrow land bridge between mainland Greece and the Peloponnese, where a Roman city rakes in fortunes from heavy-laden ships and cash-heavy tourists.
