ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book begins with an inquiry into the frames of justice reflected in the Bible. In the matter of frames of justice and their policy implications— even policies of genocide— it examines the roles of faith and reason. The book also describes the ways in which the sanctity of human life may be upheld. It demonstrates that the faith in God is based in selfish reasons, and that people praise God for selfish reasons, irregardless of the justice of His interventions. Justice in accordance with the life-affirmation frame, contrarily, is to be found in the support and affirmation of individual human life. Anything that violates that life, even in the name of group justice or desert, is unjust. Thus all three frames of justice— group, desert, and life affirmation— are present and in competitive struggle within the human mind.
