I was a student at Moody in the 80s and took Dr. Walton's "Wisdom Literature" class. While I learned many valuable truths at Moody, in 30 years of ministry, this concept of the retribution principle is clearly the one that has come to the forefront of my mind and ministry most often. Countless times I have been able to minister to people who wrestle with God's justice and suffering. Guiding them through the understanding of THEIR belief in the retribution principle has ALWAYS ministered to them in helpful and positive ways. Thank you Dr. Walton. 30 plus years for me and your ministry in my life continues through it! I was so thrilled to have found this as once again I wanted to revisit the topic.
It looks like Job is an excellent critique of Buddhism and the idea of karma. Karma is just an extention of the Retributive Principle. Extremely relevant today.

This is very good insight. It clarifies the wisdom principles of Proverbs 8 as being the priori of all things, even that of justice and retribution, reducing our comprehension of God's working to faith.
Very accessible material. Interesting way to explain the retribution principle in both Old an New Testament. Thank You.
I wonder is the Retributive Principle the same as "the law of sowing and reaping" widely talked about today
