In a couple threads the topic of justice came up.

For anyone interested:
The link below is a unique view on God's Justice. It was written by George MacDonald. It is 18 pages - but worth the reading. :)

About George Macdonald:

From Wikipedia:
George MacDonald (December 10, 1824 – September 18, 1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister.

Though no longer well known, his works (particularly his fairy tales and fantasy novels) have inspired admiration in such notables as W. H. Auden, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Madeleine L'Engle. C. S. Lewis wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his "master". Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day in a train station (presumably from a railway station bookstall), he began to read; "a few hours later," said Lewis, "I knew I had crossed a great frontier." G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence". Elizabeth Yates wrote of Sir Gibbie, "It moved me the way books did when, as a child, the great gates of literature began to open and first encounters with noble thoughts and utterances were unspeakably thrilling."[1] Even Mark Twain, who initially despised MacDonald, became friends with him, and there is some evidence that Twain was influenced by MacDonald.[2]

I read Lilith many years ago. It was actually a jolly good read. I think I may have also read Phantasies. I intended to read At the back of the North Wind but never got round to it. An interesting thinker and Christian apologist. His leanings towards universalism put him at odds with his rather more strident brethern.
