Law and Justice Bible Studies

God delights in justice but what is and isn’t just in His sight? He has given us Biblical laws but what relevance do they have to life in the twenty-first century? He has instituted governments but to what extent should Christians submit to their authority?

In a clear and provocative manner Law & Justice Bible Studies addresses such questions as it explores the Bible’s teaching on these key topics, from Genesis to Revelation.

These studies are intended to encourage, inspire and equip Christians, especially Christian lawyers, to seek justice and live righteously from a Biblical understanding of law and justice and an intimate relationship with God.

“Dutch statesmen and theologian, Abraham Kuyper, once affirmed: ‘The Scriptures are infallible upon everything on which they speak; and they speak on everything’. The need of the hour is the rediscovery of a Biblical life and worldview that can positively inform and transform every field of human knowledge. The practice of law often suffers from inadequate moral and intellectual foundations. Ironically, this promotes folly and injustice. These striking Bible Studies are clear, wide-ranging, bristling with provactive insights, and hugely important for every lawyer who wishes to be shaped by God’s ancient wisdom. I commend them highly.”
