Summary/Abstract: In the context of theories and discussions about justice, launched and developed over time in the literature belonging to the social sciences, Orthodox doctrine explains justice in close connection to human participation in the life of the Church and his progress to salvation. Thus, in its concretization, justice is not foreign and must not be separated from the reality of subjective correction or salvation, from the reality of man’s vocation. In the Christian sense, both terms – justice and justification – render, in a complementary and solidary way, the same reality regarding the finality towards which the Christian is heading, deification. The concept of justice‑justification has the role of best reflecting the teaching about Christian justice; at the same time, it is the starting point and the core of Christian doctrine of justice.
