N T Wright Defines Justice

Visit the Randomly Specific Podcast Homepage: • Randomly Specific
In this episode of Randomly Specific, Rafi and Cynthi do a deep dive into N.T. Wright discussions around justice. Wright connects the Old Testament's prophecies of a just king with Jesus, arguing that Jesus' resurrection inaugurated God's kingdom of justice, a kingdom already present but not yet fully realized.
Wright emphasizes that this justice is not merely about individual salvation but also involves actively working for social and economic justice in the world. He uses examples like the letter to Philemon to illustrate how this justice operates on both personal and global scales, addressing issues of slavery and global debt.
Finally, he challenges the common Western Christian notion that the church's role is solely spiritual, arguing that it must actively participate in God's restorative justice.
