Em seu Ética a Nicômaco, Aristóteles demonstrou a ambiguidade da justiça. Se por um lado, diz-se justo aquele que cumpre a lei, por outro, a justiça é identificada com a realização da igualdade, seja na relação entre as pessoas ou na relação entre elas e o governo.O usual raciocínio metódico e perspicaz do estagirita o levou a analisar as nuances ocultas naquelas ambiguidades. Se justo é cumprir a lei, como deve se dar a interpretação e aplicação da lei? Qual o papel do juiz nesse processo? Se justo é dar a cada um o que lhe é devido, quais critérios nos permitem identificar o que é o devido em cada caso? Qual o papel do governo na realização dessa igualdade?Neste "A Justiça sub judice: reflexões interdisciplinares" o público encontrará reflexões levadas a cabo por excelentes pesquisadores que, com a qualidade de seus trabalhos, fazem jus e, de certo modo, homenageiam a tradição de reflexões da qual faz parte Aristóteles, mas também filósofos e juristas como Kant, Bentham, Mill, Kelsen, Foucault, Dworkin, Alexy, dentre muitos outros.Espera-se que as reflexões interdisciplinares, plurais e democráticas que compõem este livro possam contribuir, mesmo que modestamente, para a construção de uma sociedade mais justa.

The price I paid to claim her cost me too dearly to ever let her go. A deal sealed with a handshake promised she'd be mine. A broken vow ripped her from my future.

(3 chapters taken from God's Kind by the same author and replaces a previous booklet entitled: The Completion Gospel) Jesus said: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." (Mat 24:14). The last verse in Acts says Paul was "proclaiming the Kingdom of God." The next verse in the Bible begins Paul's epistle of Romans, where he preached the "gospel of God" to the believers in Rome (Rom. 1:1). The entirety of this epistle is the gospel of the Kingdom. Most Christians are only familiar with the systematic development of half of the Kingdom message (Romans 1-8), which brilliantly highlights personal salvation by grace through faith. However, without experiencing the systematic progression in the second half of Romans, many believers unnecessarily struggle in weaknesses. They fail to recognize how the destructiveness of division in the Body of Christ has negatively affected their journey. Jesus declared: "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls" (Luke 11:17b, ESV). Therefore, the Kingdom message includes the gospel of peace described in Romans 9-16. This aspect of the gospel is needed to unite divided believers together in love and fellowship. The breach between diverse believers needs healing: those excluding others and those excluded can be one in fellowship. This oneness is needed for the Kingdom of God to come on earth. Romans is a roadmap for all believers to "seek first the Kingdom of God" so He will bless them with a life free from anxiety: "...all these things (life's necessities) shall be added to you" (Matt. 6:33). The finality of accepting the gospel of the Kingdom in Romans results in God being glorified by those in one accord and Satan being crushed under the feet of those in peace!
