Rise Up, O Judge A Study of Justice in the Biblical World Enrique Nardoni - U.S.A. Hendrickson Pub 2004 - 343tr. paperback, illustration 23 cm

Rise Up, O Judge studies the biblical concept of social and liberating justice and traces its roots to the cultures of ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt. The application of justice through its developing stages within the various environments and communities of the Old and New Testaments is then analyzed. Enrique Nardoni reads the ancient and biblical texts in their own historical, social, and intellectual context, but he also relates them to contemporary culture, where his readers are participants, not mere spectators.
