Obraz Boga wyłaniający się z konfrontacji bezbożnego i sprawiedliwego w wybranych księgach Starego Testamentu
The image of God emerging from a confrontation between the unrighteous and righteous in selected Old Testament books

Summary/Abstract: Justice is a difficult concept. Its description is present in almost every chapter of the Bible. It hasvarious aspects. However, the basic message is that justice comes from God and it leads towards Him.The purpose is to become a righteous man who is formed by God’s Justice. By repeating thisadjective, the Bible defines this attitude and contrasts it with the picture of a wicked man and impietyitself. This can be observed mainly in the Book of Proverbs and in the Book of Psalms. A simple structureof proverbs allows us to notice the contrast between a wicked and pious man. A similar structure ofpsalms makes it possible to compare both concepts. Selected parts of the Books define those contrastingattitudes. This leads us to predictable conclusions.Some interesting phrases can be observed in the Book of Ezekiel. The author avoids static conceptsand the final classification of a righteous man who will never become a sinner. The prophet knows those attitudes. He is interested how man can change. He wants to know if man can hold on to suchattitude. The narration of the Book does not contrast both attitudes but it challenges and evaluates them.
