Justice and rights

I think Christians (especially evangelicals) too easily make justice about individual rights. It’s an easy default move when we don’t have visible justice going on in the local body itself. I think articulating justice in terms of rights enables us to put justice at a distance because it enables justice to become a concept separate from the way we engage victims, the poor and relationships in everyday life. more

I read this quote and found it really interesting and it’s certainly provacative. Whilst I’m not sure yet what I think I suspect that he may have a point in what he is writing. This is one to come back to me thinks!
