Justice in the Balance 
Learning from the Prophets

In Justice in the Balance, biblical scholar John L. Mc Laughlin presents writings from Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Amos, Micah, Zechariah, Malachi, and other First Testament prophets who speak about justice. Known for his clear, engaging writing style, Mc Laughlin helps readers to discover people and texts of the Bible in refreshing ways.

As he explores the historical, religious, social, and economic worlds of some of the oldest sources of the Bible, Mc Laughlin shows how this prophetic message can guide our lives and actions today.
