Description
Justice in Public Life comprises three essays which are edited versions of lectures delivered at Westminster Abbey Institute by Revd Dr James Hawkey, Dr Claire Foster-Gilbert and Revd Jane Sinclair. The essays look at the meaning of justice for the 21st century expressed through principles; justice as it can be expressed by our public service institutions; and how justice is expressed in society more widely. Justice in Public Life brings a dry concept to life in a call to public servants to nurture it as a virtue pursued individually and communally, as a means to serve human flourishing.
