    Niesprawiedliwy Bóg w Psalmach?
    Węgrzyniak, Wojciech (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2014)
    The Book of Psalms describes God as righteous. The aim of this article is to answer the question whether one can speak of the injustice of God in the Psalms. First, the author tries to draw some conclusions from the statistics of words describing God’s righteousness. Then, he summarizes the studies dealing with the topic in question. Next, he analyses the four Psalms that speak more or less directly about the injustice of God (Ps 44, 69, 88, 89). At the end, the author attempts to answer the question what the genre of the psalms has to do with talking about an unjust God. The final conclusions include the following statements: 1) generally the Psalms do not speak about unjust God; 2) the exceptions are a sign of an extremely dramatic situation of the nation; 3) injustice is seen as a temporal problem and therefore resolvable; 4) God’s injustice may involve a curse addressed to an enemy; 5) death is the only limitation of the justice of God.

    Wszechmoc w płaszczu niemocy. Sprawiedliwość Boża w perspektywie chrystologicznej według Josepha Ratzingera/Benedykta XVI
    Szymik, Jerzy (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2014)
    Christology is the key to understand God’s justice. Jesus – the Son who is one in substance with His Father – shows what God’s justice is and how different it is from men’s rules. God overcomes the logic of repayment, a suitable reward or deserved punishment, not through ignoring or excluding them, but through omnipotent love that makes Him assume the burden of responsibility and pay the price of Salvation. Incarnation of the Son of God, which leads Him inevitably to death and sacrifice of His life, redeeming the sense and intentions of all the previous sacrifices, becomes an expression of God’s justice. It returns a man to God as His possession and restores the image and the likeness of God in us. Paradoxically, justice that does not reveal itself through power and authority, but through love and sacrifice, turns out to be omnipotent, since it is redemptive. As such, through its excess, it establishes the kingdom of God and becomes a criterion of Christian ethos.

    Sprawiedliwość Syna według Listu do Hebrajczyków
    Malina, Artur (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2014)
    The study concerns the first mentions of the righteous kingdom and the love of justice in the Letter to the Hebrews. The meaning of the analyzed terms is built by their author on the comparison between Son’s immutability and His superiority to the nature and position of angels (1:8-9). Son’s love of justice is not limited to His passion and death, but is manifested through everything that preceded His anointing as the King of justice. This manifestation makes Him the example of the justice that the Christian are called to exhibit in their lives.

    Problem Bożej sprawiedliwości w świetle Listu do Rzymian
    Kowalski, Marcin (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2014)
    In the present article, the author indicates the theme of God’s justice as a unifying thread of the Letter to the Romans. The analysis of the issue starts from a general overview of the idea of justice in the Greco-Roman culture, in the Old and New Testament. Next, the author presents the overall structure of the Letter to the Romans supplied with the distribution of the vocabulary of justice. The core of the article is the analysis of the differentiated argumentative parts of the letter (Rom 1–4; 5–8; 9–11) with the special attention paid to the issue of God’s justice. Paul presents it as the power of God that saves the humanity from the incoming judgment (Rom 1–4), as the giver of new life in the Spirit and freedom for the believers (Rom 5–8), and as the creative will of God that will not cease until it brings everybody, including Israel, to salvation (Rom 9–11). At every stage of his argument, the apostle stresses that throughout the whole history of mankind God’s justice remained faithful to its original plan of salvation revealed and disclosed in the Old Testament.

    Popaschalne świadectwo parakleta o sądzie Boga nad „światem” w ujęciu J 16,8-11
    Kot, Piotr (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2014)
    Holy Spirit plays an important role in the theology of the fourth Evangelist. During the Last Super, and therefore right before his death, Jesus from Nazareth not only foretold the coming of the Holy Spirit, but also designated the nature of his mission. The Paraclete, as Jesus calls him, will “testify about” Jesus (John 15:26) and “will demonstrate to the world what sin, righteousness and judgment are about” (John 16:8). Many scholars, while interpreting these words, point to the juridical function of the Paraclete. Accordingly, the Paraclete would pass right judgment on the world in view of the sin of unbelief. However, a detailed exegetical analysis, taking into account the various narrative techniques employed by the author of the fourth Gospel, among them the technique of misunderstanding, allows for a different interpretation of Jesus’ words. Accusations against Jesus are very frequent in the fourth Gospel. The “world” calls him a “sinner” (8:46) and “one who blasphemes” (10:36). In the context of such charges, the passing of judgment on Jesus, as well as his crucifi xion and death, were understood as a revelation of God’s justice in regard to Jesus. The Paraclete’s mission will consist in revealing to the “world” and to the disciples the meaning of these events in a reversed perspective. John describes his task by the u se of the technique of irony. The Paraclete will reveal as true that Jesus indeed accepted death as a “sinner”, but in the sense of expiatory sacrifi ce antitype. For that reason, the justice of God has been realized not “in regard” to Jesus, but “in Jesus.” As a result, the “world’s” judgment on Jesus has, in fact, initiated God’s judgment on the “world” and its ruler. The Paraclete is to give a testimony about the victory of life over death in Jesus Christ, and thus to lead the “world” to faith, and the disciples to the fullness of faith.

    Interpretacja mesjańska wyrażenia „słońce sprawiedliwości” (Ml 3,20)
    Dogondke, Dariusz (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2014)
    Christian tradition reads the words of the prophet Malachi on „the sun of righteousness” (Mal 3:20) as Messianic, calling Jesus Christ the sun of righteousness. This paper is an attempt to justify this belief in the context of the Old Testament, especially of the Book of Malachi. Indeed, the Messianic nature of this expression is indicated by the closest context, in which the image of rising sun has been contrasted with the image of the lack of root and branch. The total destruction of „root and branch” means no messianic hope for the wicked (Mal 3:19), but for the God fearing the rising of the sun of righteousness is prelude to the fulfi llment of this hope, about which the prophet Malachi convinces us also in these words: the sun of righteousness will rise „with its heeling rays” (Mal 3:20). On the basis of the Old Testament exegesis, the Messianic interpretation of the expression „the sun of righteousness” is fully justified.

    Dzieje Izraela (Mdr 10–19) jako objawienie Bożej sprawiedliwości w świetle dygresji z Mdr 12,12-22
    Demitrów, Andrzej (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2014)
    The Book of Wisdom is one of those late biblical Judaism texts that were created in the context of the creative confrontation with the Hellenic culture prevailing at that time. This confrontation concerned, among others, the basic question of faith of the chosen people, namely, the profession of the one only God who manifests his justice in the events of national and universal history. The basic event for the author of the Book of Wisdom is the exodus of Israel from Egypt, the aim of which was the entry of the chosen people into the Promised Land. On this way the nation experienced Godʼs Justice that proved to be his Grace and Mercy.

    Eschatologiczna sprawiedliwość Boga wobec historii
    Dańczak, Andrzej (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2014)
    The course of history, understood in the perspective of faith, requires its evaluation. The issue is associated with the problem of God’s justice, which will demonstrate itself in the parousia. The parousia is the conclusion of history conceived fi rst of all as history of human liberty. At the same time, it means its fulfi llment. During the parousia, history does not merely come to an end, but enters the stadium of fullness that is donated by the God of the end of times. Human history becomes the element of eternity and of its transformed time. One of the aspects of parousia is judgment. It demonstrates God’s justice as victorious in regard to all the threads and events of history which were in contradiction to God’s plan towards creation. Purifying justice of God is realized by Christ as a credible co-participant of history. The Lamb “put to death” becomes the sign of measure of the divine love as well as the price of redemption.
