Corn can’t expect justice from a court composed of chickens.
--AFRICAN PROVERB
It is impossible to be just if one is not generous.
--JOSEPH ROUX (D. 1794)
Justice is nothing other than love working out its problems.
--JOSEPH FLETCHER
One hour of justice is worth a hundred of prayer.
--ARABIAN PROVERB
Only through an inner spiritual transformation do we gain the strength to fight vigorously the evils of the world in a humble and loving spirit. The transformed nonconformist, moreover, never yields to the passive sort of patience which is an excuse to do nothing.
--MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. (1929–1968)
ON JUSTICE
By largely ignoring the central biblical teaching that God is on the side of the poor, our theology has been profoundly unorthodox. The Bible has just as much to say about this doctrine as it does about Jesus’ resurrection. And yet we insist on the Resurrection as a criterion of orthodoxy and largely ignore the equally prominent biblical teaching that God is on the side of the poor and the oppressed.
--RONALD J. SIDER
[God’s] freedom from bias does not mean that he maintains neutrality in the struggle for justice. He is indeed on the side of the poor! The Bible clearly and repeatedly teaches that God is at work in history casting down the rich and exalting the poor because frequently the rich are wealthy precisely because they have oppressed the poor or have neglected to aid the needy. God also sides with the poor because
of their special vulnerability.
--RONALD J. SIDER
