Justice is not a human invention, it is rooted in the very character of God. Yet in today’s culture, “justice” has been hijacked, politicized, and twisted into something unrecognizable. Ordered Justice calls readers back to the biblical and constitutional foundations of true justice: impartial, accountable, and inseparably bound to righteousness.
Drawing from Scripture, American legal history, and modern case studies, Dr. Vincent J. Schaan, retired police lieutenant, professor of criminal justice, and author of Ordered Liberty, exposes the failures of man’s justice systems and reveals the superiority of God’s unchanging standard. From plea bargains and selective enforcement to riots, media manipulation, and executive overreach, Schaan demonstrates how justice collapses when it is divorced from moral truth.
But this book is more than critique, it is a blueprint for reform. Ordered Justice unpacks how biblical justice provides both punishment for the guilty and restoration for the repentant. It examines the role of law enforcement, the dangers of compromise, and the Church’s responsibility to lead with courage and clarity. Along the way, Schaan weaves in powerful voices from the Founding Fathers, theologians, pastors, and landmark court cases to show that justice and mercy were never meant to compete, they were meant to complete.
For believers, leaders, and citizens alike, Ordered Justice offers a prophetic yet practical vision: a justice system that restrains evil, defends the innocent, and glorifies God. It challenges Christians to reject cultural relativism, to stand boldly for righteousness, and to prepare for the coming Kingdom where perfect justice will reign.
Let us not forget, mercy is only meaningful when justice is real.
