The Christian Tradition And The Practice Of Justice

The Christian Tradition And The Practice Of Justice by Nicholas Sagovsky was published by SPCK in November 2008 and is our 35703rd best seller. The ISBN for The Christian Tradition And The Practice Of Justice is 9780281060160.

Nicholas Sagovsky explores ‘justice’ through its concrete expressions and through the reflection on those expressions within the tradition of the Christian community. He also engages with notions and practices of justice that make no reference to religious belief but are present and powerful in the public domain today.

The Christian Tradition and the Practice of Justice looks at the Greeks – not only the philosophers but the storytellers, poets, playwrights and historians – and at Augustine, Aquinas and Rawls. Its principal strands are the maximisation of liberty, the existence of a system of law, the necessity to meet needs, and responsible action. It concludes with a moving chapter on justice and the Eucharist.

Nicholas Sagovsky is Canon Theologian at Westminster Abbey, London. He has been a member of Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) since 1992. He was William Leech Professorial Fellow at Newcastle University, and then Professor at Liverpool Hope University.
