This chapter is titled 'Justice, Love, and Shalom'. I would this is like a footnote of the previous chapter! In this chapter Nick argues that if one is concerned about Shalom, one must be concerned about justice. The idea that justice is God's business and our business is to love is a wrong way of seeing things. Shalom or rather Peace is not just about absence of violence; it's about everything coming together to a right relation. Our human relation to God; our human relation to one another; our human relation with the physical world etc. But without justice, right relations cannot prevail. So if one must talk about Shalom one must talk about justice.
