Justice in Dealing with Others -...

Esther Jameson

Justice is a fundamental concept that has shaped human societies for centuries. It refers to the principles of fairness, equality, and moral rightness that govern interactions between individuals, communities, and institutions. In its broadest sense, justice is about ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness, regardless of their background, status, or circumstances. It encompasses a wide range of areas, including law, ethics, politics, and social relationships, all of which are vital to creating a balanced and harmonious society.
The importance of justice cannot be overstated. Without it, societies risk descending into chaos and inequality. History provides numerous examples of injustice, from oppressive regimes to discriminatory practices, that have caused harm to individuals and groups. At its core, justice aims to prevent harm and ensure that people receive what they are due – whether that be rights, resources, or recognition. It seeks to promote fairness, resolve disputes, and protect the vulnerable, while holding individuals accountable for their actions.
Justice is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It is influenced by various philosophical and cultural perspectives that shape how it is understood and applied. In Western thought, justice has often been closely tied to concepts such as the rule of law, individual rights, and democratic governance. In other cultures, justice may be framed through the lens of collective responsibility, harmony, or social roles. These differing perspectives reflect the complexity of justice as a concept and the challenges in applying it universally.

The Seven Deadly Sins of White...

Carter Heyward

Hear the call to overcome today's culture of hate and bring healing and hope into our life together. While right-wing conservatives dare to call themselves Christians as they tear down equality and justice, commit horrific acts of violence, and fan the flames of fascism in America, Carter Heyward issues a call to action for Christians to truly hear God's message of peace and love. 
 
 
 
Heyward shows how American Christians have played a major role in building and securing structures of injustice in American life. Rising tides of white supremacy, threats to women's reproductive freedoms and to basic human rights for gender and sexual minorities, the widening divide between rich and poor, and increasing natural disasters and the extinction of Earth's species—all point to a world crying out for God's wisdom. 
 
 
 
Followers of Jesus must first call out these ingrained and sinful attitudes for what they are, acknowledging what the culture of white Christian nationalism is doing to our country and our world, and commit ourselves ever more fully to generating justice-love, whoever and wherever we are.

Roman Britain - A New History:...

Guy de la Bedoyere

This illuminating account of Britain as a Roman province sets the Roman conquest and occupation of the island within the larger context of Romano-British society and how it functioned.

He then tackles the issues facing Britons after the absorption of their culture by an invading army, including the role of government and the military in the province, religion, commerce, technology, and daily life. For this revised edition, the text and bibliography have been updated to reflect the latest discoveries and research in recent years.

Parcels in the Post - Growing Up...

Fiona Neary

Welcome to the house of fun.
It's the early 1980s and Fiona Neary and her family have recently moved back from England to the family farm. Fiona's huge-hearted mum decides to take in foster children – a decision that will change all their lives.
 Over the next decade, a procession of faces passes through the house. Every child has their own story, and each story claims a little piece of Fiona's heart. Some stay a few weeks; some months, and then years. All these children, as well as Fiona and her family, must pass through a chaotic system: where a judge's decision can alter a child's life, for better or worse; where emergency placements can break up siblings; where the foster family are often left in the dark and with little back-up.
Filled with pathos and humour, Parcels in the Post is both a memoir of a loving household and snapshot of the fostering system in Ireland, from someone at the very heart of it all.
