text: Monte - you haven't addressed my question or my definition of social justice. Isn't agreement on a general definition necessary for good communication about this issue?
  
  My definition says nothing about wealth distribution. I was simply challenging your protest that social justice isn't really political, and that the article wasn't about political action. My beef with social justice as a cause for the church has nothing to do with the issue of whether it calls for wealth redistribution - although it always does. My concern is with narrow and selective use OT theocratic passages to buy into a politicized social justice gospel which is alien to the life and teachings of Christ and His Apostles. 
  
  Incidentally,  Jubilee principles reinforced tribal distinctions and preservation of pre-existing familial wealth. Both you and I would view Jubilee "idealism" as highly unjust by any contemporary standards of justice and morality.
