Isabelle Hamley - How does the Bible help us embrace justice, beyond judgement?

Talking Theology

What do the stories and laws of the Old Testament teach us about a God of justice? How does the incarnation of Jesus shape the way we see issues of justice and mercy today? How does the cross hold mercy and justice together? How can facing up to our own broken humanity help us imagine a world beyond judgement? And what do we do when we are confronted by injustice in the world around us?
In today's show we are talking to the Revd Dr Isabelle Hamley. Isabelle is currently the Secretary for Ecumenism and Theology on the Church of England’s Council of Christian Unity and Theological Adviser for the House of Bishops. Her recently-published book Embracing Justice was selected as the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book for 2022.
