Tampa Attorney Releases New Book
Rep. Castor To Host Job Fair With More Than 75 Employers
A Tampa attorney re- cently released a new book entitled, “Jesus Master of Law: A Juridical Science of Christianity and the Law of Equality.”
Attorney Roderick O. Ford has been a practicing attorney in the Tampa Bay Area for several years. The grandson and grand nephew of African Methodist Episco- pal ministers, Attorney Ford addresses the idea of “Justice and Judgment.”
The book presents Jesus of Nazareth and His mas- tery of the Law of Moses in a format that ties Christian religion to secular laws and legal institutions.
According to Attorney Ford, the objective of Moses is “Justice and Judg- ment,” (Genesis 18:18-19).
“Thereafter, “Justice and Judgment” has continued to be the central objective of the various Hebrew prophets such as Isaiah, Ezekiel,

Jeremiah, and Amos. By the time Jesus of Nazareth arrived, Moses and the He- brew prophets had already laid the foundation of his ministry,” he said.
Attorney Ford said, even more significantly, the idea of “Justice and Judg- ment” was of ancient Egypt- ian origin and was borrowed by the ancient Hebrews, Greeks and Romans. He fur-
ther argues that the idea ulti- mately became the founda- tion of Western Civilization and Anglo-American law. The book is available at bookstores and online.
Meetings
More than 75 employers will participate in the 2015 Job & Community Resource Fair, sponsored by U. S. Rep. Kathy Castor. The job fair will take place on Friday, Feb- ruary 20, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., at the St. Petersburg Col- iseum, 535 Fourth Ave. N., in St. Petersburg.
Rep. Castor said, “The economy is improving, more of our neighbors are working and gas prices are low. I want to en- sure that everyone benefits from the improving economy. We must press for better wages so all families have an oppor- tunity to succeed and work to- wards financial security.
“This event is an excellent time to connect with the more than 50 local companies ready to hire.”
