John Witte Jr. Emory University For the past three decades Nicholas Wolterstorff has crafted a devastating philosophical critique of and a bracing Christian alternative to John Rawls s Theory of Justice.

Love and justice have long been prominent themes in the moral culture of the West, yet they are often considered to be almost hopelessly at odds with each other. In this book acclaimed Christian philosopher Nicholas Wolterstorff shows that justice and love are perfectly compatible at heart, and he argues that the commonly perceived tension between them reveals something faulty in our understanding of each. This paperback publication adds a new preface and Scripture index to the original hardcover edition. Building upon Wolterstorff's expansive discussion of justice in his earlier Justice: Rights and Wrongs and charitably engaging alternate views, this book focuses in profound ways on the complex yet ultimately harmonious relation between justice and love.
