God Loves JusticeJustice: Hiding in New Testament TranslationsEpisode 08 In this episode, we explore why justice can seem hidden in the New Testament, and how some of that actually comes down to translation. We talk about how, when we first go searching for the English word “justice,” it barely shows up, which can make it seem like justice isn’t a New Testament priority. But if we look at the Greek, we see that a very important word, dikaiosyne, gets almost always translated as “righteousness” instead of “justice,” even though the concept actually includes both ideas together. Meanwhile, the Greek words that do get translated as justice ten...

Second, we look at how Western Christians often expect justice to be legal and rule-based, which doesn’t match how Jesus teaches. Third, we look at the translation challenges, like how important Greek words connected to justice often get translated as “righteousness,” making it seem like the...

God Loves JusticeModern Western Versus Ancient Hebrew Views of JusticeEpisode 02 In this episode, we look into how differently justice is understood in modern Western culture compared to ancient Hebrew culture. Western justice tends to be legalistic—focused on rules, enforcement, and punishment—while the Hebrew view is rooted in Shalom, a peace that comes because everyone and everything is whole and flourishing. Western justice focuses heavily on outside authorities and behavior, but Hebrew justice is more communal and dynamic, aiming for heart-level change and restored relationships. We look at out cultural assumptions about justice in order to get ready for upcoming conversations about the Hebrew words for j...

Allowing all parties to be heard before a decision is made is one step which may lead to a process being characterized and perceived as procedurally fair.
