The New Testament on Reparations
Biblically, the bible speaks more to restitution than it does reparations. The closest thing we get to government governmental reparations in the bible is exodus 12. After centuries of slavery, god didn't want them to go from bondage into freedom handed. In Luke 19 again, Jesus invites himself over his home, and zacheus says, you know what, jesus, i've wronged a lot of people, and saying i'm sorry is not good enough. So up to half my goods i will give to the poor and those whom i have defrauded, i will restore it back to them fourfold.
