Contrary to a widespread misunderstanding of the term, justice as portrayed in the Bible can take sides. It has little to do with the unaffected neutrality that many of us associate with the term and even project on God: a funny mixture between a British judge and a German bureaucrat who constantly quotes jurisprudence in order to make life much more complicated than it ought to be. Justice in the Bible is something altogether different. It is the active expression of God's compassionate love. It takes sides for those who need it most: the underprivileged and the suffering, the weak and the poor. Justice is far more than applying laws. It aims at a morality over and above the legal code.
