RELI 2270 Christianity in Chains

This course addresses the great issues of justice, both human and divine. What is justice? Does God act justly? Can human beings act justly? This course will focus on a close and careful reading of three important primary texts: the Republic of Plato, the book of Genesis, and the book of Job. Each text provides a different perspective on the problems of justice and its relevance for forgiveness, community, religion, punishment, and natural injury.
