What does the Bible have to say about justice and righteousness today? In this book, Eugen Drewermann addresses, among other things, the plight of refugees, the treatment of strangers, offenders, and the needy, as well as Islamism and the war on terror. Legal justice is imposed by an external authority: a "well-regulated egoism" suitable for asserting one's own claims. In contrast, Jesus' justice starts from within. It looks at the needs of people and asks: What can I do to be just to my neighbor in their need? For where he stands, I could also stand. Only by helping the other in their distress can I be in harmony with God and myself.
