Gaining Clarity on Justice and Righteousness in the Bible

This eye-opening course on the Hebrew concepts of mišpāṭ (pronounced "mishpat" and often translated as "justice") and ṣᵊḏāqâ (often translated as "righteousness") is a valuable way to lay a scriptural foundation for prioritizing the call to love our vulnerable neighbors.  The 2 1/2-hour course teaches us to put on the "Mishpat Glasses" and see behind the English words and seeing the compelling applications for our lives and ministries today.

Even if you've studied justice in the scriptures for decades, you'll likely gain some new and powerful insights from this class.
