See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God. In this article I have attempted to explore the relationship between justice and health in the Bible. I have connected this theme closely to the character of God. The highest value in life, mixed with passionate wholeness, begins to capture the Biblical vision.
Individual wholeness is only possible as social wholeness exists.
Justice implies a careful and practical attention to the weak, poor and infirm members of society. 10 Jesus not only lives out this vision as a model for us, but by his death for sin provides the grace which allows all to live out the vision. This article does not set out a blueprint for justice and health but will hopefully inform our Christian thinking in this sphere. Any theological reflection cannot end here but must develop into action. 1987 WHO .
