《圣经》中的正义思想辨析

An Analysis of Justice in the Bible

《圣经》宣称,上帝是正义的,人间正义来源于上帝。上帝的正义主要通过与人立约和颁布律法体现出来。信仰上帝是遵守律法、实现正义的基本前提。作为上帝的形象,人人生而平等,有着同样的人格尊严,人类应平等相处、互相关爱。作为上帝的子民,穷人与富人一样有着相同的生命尊严和生存权利,必须善待穷人,公正地获得财富,"照各人所需要的分给各人"。基督教建基于上帝之城的正义思想具有超现实性,尽管对西方正义思想的形成和发展起到一定的作用,但终究是一种唯心主义的、虚幻的正义观,是麻醉人民的精神鸦片。

The Bible claims that, God represents justice, and human justice comes from God. The justice of God is reflected primarily through the covenant with humans and promulgation of the laws. Believing in God is the basic premise of the compliance of law and achievement of justice. In the image of God, all men are created equal, and endowed with i- dentical dignity. Therefore, humans should respect and love each other. As God＇s citizens, the poor and rich share the same dignity and rights, thus the poor must be kindly treated and social welfare should be allocated equitably. With the view of the city of God, Christian justice is based on the Bible and transcends reality. Although it has certain effect on both the formation and development of Western justice thoughts, Christian justice is still an idealistic and illusory concept of justice and it is the spiritual opium to anesthetize people.
