A Biblical View of Law and Justice

Now in an expanded edition, David McIlroy presents an updated and thoroughly researched biblical theology of law and justice.

In *A Biblical View of Law and Justice*, David McIlroy presents a compelling biblical theology of law and justice, tracing these themes across the whole of Scripture. He argues that while human legal and political structures have a vital role in God's good purposes, their authority is both important and rightly limited. Showing how law protects the God-given goods of life, dignity and liberty, McIlroy explores how legal systems create the conditions for people to flourish, work and love their neighbours. He also demonstrates why participating in these structures can be a meaningful expression of Christian discipleship. An invaluable resource for lawyers, judges, politicians, law enforcement professionals and anyone interested in the relationship between faith, justice and public life, this book offers a biblical framework for understanding how Christians can serve God through their vocation.
