This study is an approach to the very root of this ethical power of Christianity through the historical and theological understanding of the concept of righteousness in the Old Testament, which clearly denotes the strained interrelationship of faith and morality-the characteristics of the Old Testament. I. The etymological and climatic background of righteousness in the Old Testament. II. The moralization of righteousness by the prophets. The conception of the absolute righteousness of God, of justice of judgment (Amos), of mercy (Hosea) and of holiness-the accomplishment of righteousness of God (Isaiah). III. Righteosness of man (Deuteronomy)-the ethics under the Grace. IV. God\u27s righteousness and salvation. i) Love of salvation through righteousness of judgement (Jeremiah)-paradoxical significance. ii) Man\u27s individual responsibility in righteousness (Ezekiel). V. Righteousness as God\u27s work of mercy and redemption upon the human history. The life in God\u27s righteousness and redemption-"a servant of Yahweh" (The Deutero-Isaiah). VI. The contribution of the priests to the prophetic faith in rationalization and moralization of the laws and the cults. VII. Dynamic power of ethical tension in the Old Testament fulfilled by realization of God\u27s Love of salvation in Jesus Christ. Here we see the spiritual basis for the formation of personality (education)
