The rise of monotheistic religious faith in ancient Israel and post-exilic Judaism inspired the imperative for social justice on behalf of the poor and the oppressed. Though some authors have maintained that monotheism inspires tyranny, this author maintains that real monotheistic faith affirms justice and human equality. This can be evidenced by a consideration of the Old Testament prophets and Law. Especially with the law we may observe a progression in the attempt to provide increasing rights for the poor and the oppressed.
Introduction; 1. Tyranny or Justice? The Debate; 2. The Prophets Demand Justice on Behalf of 'The One God'; 3. Laws Seek Justice on Behalf of 'The One God'; 4. The Relationship of Monotheism to Social Justice.
