Restorative Justice,, Romans 13:1–5, Freedom of Expression, Hate Speech, Theology and LawAbstract
This study explores the discourse of restorative justice from a biblical-theological perspective by analyzing Romans 13:1–5 amidst the issue of freedom of speech. This passage is often misinterpreted as a mandate for absolute obedience, whereas modern social dynamics necessitate the protection of fundamental human rights. Utilizing a qualitative library-based method and biblical hermeneutics, this research examines the function of state authority within contemporary social relations. The analysis reveals that Romans 13:1–5 positions the government as a servant of God responsible for maintaining the common good. Within this framework, restorative justice emerges as a moral orientation aligned with this mission, emphasizing relational restoration, healing social impacts, and offender transformation over retributive approaches. In the context of addressing hate speech, the restorative model is deemed more effective as it fosters space for dialogue and reconciliation. Consequently, the integration of restorative justice and Romans 13:1–5 provides an ethical foundation for managing freedom of expression that respects human dignity, repairs social damage, and reaffirms the government’s role as an agent of good serving society in a fair and proportional manner.
