Hey, this is John at The Bible Project.

In this episode of The Podcast, we're starting a new series on the topic of justice in

the Bible.

We have a new theme video on justice coming out on our YouTube channel soon, and so these

conversations are Tim and I talking through the theme of justice and righteousness, how

it weaves through the biblical story.

This is a very important and timely conversation.

This is also a very convicting conversation, but at the same time a really exciting and

empowering conversation for those who follow Jesus.

We'll look at how the theme of justice and righteousness weaves through the biblical

story.

The phrase giving someone their rights, protecting their rights, all this language comes from

the Bible.

All this language of rights in our culture is rooted in the Old King James translation.

And so what is for the, you know, for the prophets, what does true justice look like?

What does Mishpah and Mercy look like?

It's where the poor, the widow, the orphan and the immigrant don't have to worry about

their safety.

It's a community where they don't have to worry about who's going to take advantage

of them.

That is the just society.
