Rise Up. O Judge studies the biblical concept of social and liberating justice and traces its roots to the cultures of ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt.

The application of justice through its developing stages within the various environments and communities of the Old and New Testaments is then analyzed Enrique Nardoni reads the ancient and biblical texts in their own historical, social and intellectual context, but he also relates them to contemporary culture, where his readers are participants, not mere spectators. Translated for the first time into English from Los que buscan la justicia: un estudio de la justicia en el mundo bíblico (Estella: Verbo Divino, 1997), this ground-breaking work will serve as an outstanding resource for teaching and discussing the issue of social justice in universities, seminaries, and religious communities.
