TRS 305 Justice and the Old Testament
This course is a study of social justice and Old Testament ethics, in particular the social vision of the prophets and legal traditions of the Bible and their application to contemporary issues. It offers an in-depth examination of the prophets' exhortations and teachings on God's justice for Israel. Particular attention will also be given to the Exodus as a paradigm for liberation. The course will regularly examine the use of the biblical social justice message for the life and work of the modern Church and provide an opportunity to discuss the significance of the prophetic cry for justice for the Church today.
