Compassionate Justice

Compassionate Justice:
An Interdisciplinary Dialogue with Two Gospel Parables on Law, Crime, and Restorative Justice
By Christopher D. Marshall (Cascade Books)
A 2013 Outreach Resource of the Year

“In addition to robust biblical exegesis, Christopher D. Marshall’s thoughtful book garners insights from social psychology, moral ethics and philosophy, and legal theory. He concludes: ‘Since the justice of God disclosed in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ is a redeeming and restoring justice, so the pursuit of justice in general society should also be qualified by a commitment to restorative methods and outcomes.’ Marshall calls Christians and the church to embrace Christ’s model of compassionate justice that heals, restores and reconciles as an expression of God’s love and mercy.” —Mae Cannon, from the March/April 2013 issue of Outreach magazine
