Lecture 6 Topic : Sacramentionalism
My Question: the influence of justice upon people's life


Since justice is so important in the Prophetic Religions, I'd to know how it affects people's daily life? Once I read a newspaper, and I was so surprised by the parents who spend more than 10 years to find the murderer of their missing child, even the murderer dead long time ago by claiming for justice. I don't know to what extent justice is embedded in people's mind. If one want justice in everything, I'm afraid he will no time left to pursue other things.

In addition, a related question is the forgiveness, which is also emphasized at least for Christianity. I wonder how people balance the two? Or, does that mean one should first find justice if he is the victim, then after defining who is right or wrong according to justice, then he can forgive the offender?
