Justice and Truth Shall Meet

Albert Nolan, Mary O'Driscoll

This is a reprint of book originally published in the 1980s but its message is still as relevant today as it was when it was first published. In this book two Dominicans, Albert Nolan OP and Mary O'Driscoll OP, write on biblical and theological themes of justice and truth from a Dominican perspective. On truth, Mary O'Driscoll writes that it 'is evident [that] when we look at Dominic or Catherine or any of our great Dominican brothers and sisters ... all of these responded to truth not merely with their intellects but with their whole beings ... [and that] the greatest Dominicans have always been those who have combined the pursuit of speculative truth with that of existential truth, who have known how to maintain these two dimensions of the search for truth, not in conflict but as complementing one another.'. While on justice, Albert Nolan writes that justice is first and foremost an attribute of God. God is just not only because [God] is fair and honest in all [of God's] dealings with human beings but also because all God's activity is a matter of putting right what is wrong in the world and all God's laws and commandments are simply demanding that justice be done. In fact, justice is the distinguishing characteristic of the God of the Bible.' Both authors were vocal critics of the apartheid regime. What they wrote in the 1980s regarding race, poverty, injustice and inequality, the fruit of many years of study and theological reflection, remains of relevance for today.
