[Nelson · Rating 5 out of 5]

a very in depth understanding of Christian Justice... the profoundly intertwined relationship of the Personal Gospel (i.e., "you must be saved..") and the Social Gospel (i.e., Do unto others....")... Loving God and loving our neighbor as ourself....

It is thru our love relationships that justice is done...

Justice is not rooted in physical laws but in spiritual laws... the laws of love...very meta-physical stuff indeed...

"Making the invisible visible (i.e., the unseen poor and Jesus)

...a preferential love of the poor...standing w/ the poor...blessed are the poor in spirit...
