justice, God and Les Mis

I’ve also been thinking about Les Mis a lot, specifically the song “Stars.” It really mucks up the Biblical teaching about the law and forgiveness, but does so in a very interesting way. I could almost hear Job’s friends sitting on the rubble trying to explain his suffering in Javert’s words. I also heard entirely too many contemporary Christians in those lyrics.
