Rare dissertation under the supervision of the Cistercian theologian and philosopher Stephan Wiest (1748–1797), at the time rector of the University of Ingolstadt, on the subject of whether divine justice is to be seen as punitive or restorative.
Both drily theoretical and extremely practical, the dissertation sketches a history of the understanding of divine justice from the early Church onwards, linking this to secular theories of justice from Cicero through to Leibnitz, Wolff, and Marie Huber, as well as the approaches of Islam and Judaism, and finally linking the theory of justice to the practical demands of pastoral theology and catechesis.
