Restorative Justice: Some Biblical Perspectives

Stan Thorbun discusses the growing interest in restorative justice and the reasons policy makers are looking at such alternatives. He then turns to a discussion of Christianity and justice. He probes the support of punitive sanctions by many Christians and probes the teachings of both the Old and New Testaments to find a healing form of justice and mercy.
