In a world where justice rarely means peace or love or wisdom but instead retribution and punishment, we are offered in Christopher Marshall's life-long train of studies in All Things Reconciled an opportunity to reconsider the basic meaning of justice.... by way of seeing that the God of the Bible's vision is for humans to be reconciled to God and for humans to be reconciled with one another. --Scot McKnight, Northern Seminary, Lisle Illinois Christopher Marshall's expertise as a New Testament scholar, public theologian, and pioneering advocate of restorative justice, is abundantly evident in this wonderful collection of essays. Marshall guides us toward a more faithful reading of scripture and to a more courageous participation in the peace and justice of God. There is great wisdom here. --Murray Rae, University of Otago In this engaging book, Chris Marshall not only extends his groundbreaking work on restorative justice, but reflects on what his involvement in the movement for restorative justice has taught him about Christian engagement in secular civil society, and reflects on what restorative justice implies for the way we look at God . . . Throughout these chapters, Marshall shows himself to be both a skilled interpreter of the Bible and a wise guide to some of the most pressing social problems of today. --William T. Cavanaugh, DePaul University A fabulous collection of writings by a long-term pioneer and prophet of restorative justice. Marshall's work is full of fresh biblical insights and deep theological wisdom. --David Tombs, University of Otago, New Zealand
