With a clever turn-of-phrase, a blogger I've never met named Megan posted a great entry on how Justice is not Mercy.
I cover this topic in many classes that I teach, since the issue pervades the Hebrew Bible!
I spent about two weeks, more or less, in the past few weeks - in various ways focusing in on this theme with my 8th & 7th Century prophets class.
I always refer people to David Hilfiker's work - and this article: Justice and the Limits of Charity.
I'm happy that I'll now be able to redirect people to this great new entry - saying the same things, but in fresh ways. Synon(amiss) - Why our approach to justice and mercy is missing the mark.
