Show Notes

The Bible is very clear that those who oppress the vulnerable, abuse power and cause injustice will face the judgement of God. So what do we mean by justice? How should people face the consequences of their actions? What role do we play in unjust systems? We explore the distinction between justice and revenge, the need for restoration of both victim and perpetrator, and the shocking nature of forgiveness. And it’s a big ‘welcome back’ to George MacDonald and Fluffy Rohr.
