Synopsis

This book delves into the evolution of social justice, tracing its roots from the earliest forms of vengeance and self-help to the ultimate principles of an ideal system. The author explores how the concept of justice has unfolded throughout history, examining the legal systems of various ancient cultures, including the English, Roman, and Hebrew. The book particularly emphasizes the Hebrew legal system, showcasing its progressive development from the iron rule of might to the emergence of more nuanced and regulated forms of justice. The book then centers on the teachings of Jesus, presenting them as a comprehensive program for social justice. Drawing heavily on the Sermon on the Mount, the author identifies Jesus's core principles and demonstrates how his philosophy transcends the limitations of previous legal systems. Through detailed analysis, the book reveals the fundamental human rights and duties enshrined in Jesus's teachings, along with the methods he employed to inspire their fulfillment. The author argues that Jesus's system of love and self-sacrifice holds the key to achieving true social justice, offering a transformative approach to interpersonal interactions and societal structures.
