When we think of justice, we often think of retributive justice–punishing someone for a crime done. But Scripture spends a lot of time talking about restorative justice. God is clear that justice and righteousness go hand-in-hand; we cannot be in right relationship with God and others without creating and maintaining justice. In God's ideal economy of ancient Israel, we find His heart for justice; and it doesn't look like any of our modern economic models, regardless of where you land in your socio-economic views.
