A Spirituality Of Justice And Mercy

BY MEGAN MCKENNA

Brief Description:
Justice and mercy are so easily misunderstood. "We tend to think of them as opposing forces and actions," she writes. "But the tradition of the Judeo-Christian world is that somehow mysteriously the Holy One holds them bound together, like intertwined roots of a great tree." Drawing upon scripture, Christian poetry and parables from Hindu, Zen, Native American, Jewish and other traditions, McKenna shows how justice and mercy need to be understood in spiritual terms before they can be effectively delivered. This makes for a contemplative, wandering book that's perfect for individual reflection or study groups.
