Defining The Meaning And Purpose Of Justice, Law, And Criminal Justice: A Hermeneutical Judeo-Christian Biblical Perspective, Arthur H. Garrison

Journal of Catholic Legal Studies

(Excerpt)

This Article seeks to review the purpose and definition of justice and the law from a unique perspective. It asserts that the purpose and definition of justice and the law can be determined by the utilization of literal, grammatical, historical, and contextual hermeneutic principles on the biblical text. The uniqueness of this approach is that the Bible will be used as an exclusive source for determining the definition, purpose, and operation of justice and the law.
