From the Desert to the Garden | Ep 1: Life, Death and Justice
Description
In this “Theology Unpacked” episode, Dr John Moffatt SJ explores ancient reflections on cosmic justice, reward, and punishment across Greek, Hindu, and Jewish traditions, showing how different cultures grappled with the suffering of the righteous.
The stories of Plato’s philosopher, Arjuna’s divine duty, and Job’s trials reveal a shared search for meaning and vindication through encounter with the divine. These ideas provide the cultural and spiritual background for the Christian vision of salvation, where the just one is ultimately vindicated through Christ’s suffering and resurrection.
