Economic Justice and the State

What does it mean to seek economic justice in contemorary society? Does biblical teaching point Christians more toward the answers of political liberalism or those of political conservatism? Ronald H. Nash and Eric H. Beversluis debate this crucial issue in Economic Justice and the State, the first volume in a new series of study guides for use in Christian colleges and graduate schools. Nash argues that a Christian understanding of justice does not require extensive governent involvement in the economy, while Beversluis counters that it does. The exchange between them is lively, well informed and illuminating. The editor has added study questions, extensive biblical resources for further study, a bibliography, and a Scripure index. The second of these editorial additions consists of biblical passages and study questions on the character of biblical justice, government's obligation to administer justice, economic justice, and the biblical norms of love and justice. --- from book's back cover
