Description / Abstract
This paper addresses the need for dialogue within the Church of the Nazarene concerning the issue of justice and the related mission of the church. I argue with Daniel Bell that justice conceived of in terms of individual rights or redistribution of goods is too narrow and negative a definition. To comprehend the fullness of God’s justice, this definition must be expanded and reframed by the biblical witnesses. Therefore, I conclude with an examination of Luke 4:16-21 and the mission of justice Jesus proclaims in this passage, which is oriented toward the eschatological kingdom of God already fulfilled in Jesus. By reframing God’s justice in terms of God’s kingdom, the church can begin thinking toward and embodying Jesus’ mission of justice in this world as well.
