What is Justice?

If Jesus’ loving death on the cross becomes the Christian archetype of justice, our vision has more in common with Socrates’ than with Thrasymachus’ or Cephalus’.

Luke Foster | The Yale Logos | Spring 2016

Love: the Life of Justice

Justice, then, goes beyond laws and bears on every aspect of our interactions with other people in ways that few other virtues can.

Armando Ghinaglia | The Yale Logos | Spring 2016

God’s Justice: A Shifting Standard?

If Noah and Abraham were just before God because they were sinless, it would theoretically be possible for any human being at any point in history to be just in the same way.

Dinnie Ee | The Yale Logos | Spring 2016

Forgiveness: Unjust and Illogical?

How, then, do we address the seeming injustice in forgiveness? Is forgiveness inherently a legitimization of wrong?

Tori Campbell | The Yale Logos | Spring 2016

Impetus

I see a nation inundated with injustice, yet a Church that is silent.

Nia Campinha-Bacote | The Yale Logos | Spring 2016

The Cosmic Import of Marriage

The Bible is bookended by weddings.

Markus Boesl | The Yale Logos | Fall 2013

Jesus: The End of Personal Autonomy and Identity?

Indeed, it appears that at its best, Christianity has severely restrictive, and often arbitrary, rules that limit one’s ability to do as one wants.

Matthew Johnson | The Yale Logos |

What is a “Christian” Social Ethics?

The communal nature of Jesus’ life and work must be considered when attempting to define the Christian character of a social ethic.

Daniel Bell | The Yale Logos | Winter 2012

On Money

We accept Paul’s claim that the love of money is the root of all evil, but we know that that verse does not entail us to shun money itself as an evil. Money, at the end of the day, is also part of His Creation, and all things were created for His glory.

Richard Lee and April Koh | The Yale Logos | Winter 2012

The Idolatry of Wealth and Reevaluation of Treasure

Christians are called to be good stewards rather than owners of their material blessings, multiplying them in accordance to their ability. A lively faith requires the investment of both material goods and ability for the benefit of God.

Katelyn Chan | The Yale Logos | Winter 2012

Christianity and Capitalism: Counterparts of Freedom

Though Christianity has a moral framework and capitalism a utilitarian one, their mutual respect of individual choice and autonomy makes them reconcilable on a more fundamental level.

Mark Diplacido | The Yale Logos | Winter 2012

Faith and Fiction

The relationship between fiction and faith has had its difficult moments. The Index Librorum Prohibitorum was abolished by the Catholic Church only fifty years ago, and there were even recent stories of pastors burning Harry Potter books when the series started skyrocketing in popularity. Clearly the people instituting banned books lists and instigating book burnings believe in the capacity for fiction to corrupt. Curiously, in denouncing fiction’s potentially degrading influence, they are also acknowledging its power.

The Four Walls of Our Freedom: Organized Religion and the Happy Life

Why accept an organized religion: don’t you want to think for yourself and come to your own conclusions?
