About this Item

Print on Demand. This book presents a bold and provocative challenge to conventional forms of law, justice, and charity. The author argues that traditional human justice, based on revenge and punishment, is not only ineffective but also perpetuates the cycle of violence and suffering. Instead, the author advocates for a 'new school' of justice based on charity and forgiveness, where the victims of crime are shown compassion rather than retribution. This revolutionary approach to justice is seen by the author as a necessary step in human progress, a move away from the barbarism of the past and present and towards a more humane and compassionate future. Blending historical, moral, and religious perspectives, the book offers a thoughtful and challenging perspective that will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in justice, equality, and the search for a better way of life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
