- The epitome of this article is the reflection upon the question of “How long is now?” This question is interpreted within the context of the Iraq war, 2003 and onwards, as the enduring now specified. Drawing on parallels from the European World War II experience and the use of “Auschwitz” as a metaphor for a specifically Christian guilt articulated in relation to the Pauline eschatological hope of Messianic expectation, a common structure recognizable within both theology and international law is proposed. And through the gaze of political theology – as it is put forward by Carl Schmitt – theology is proposed to be instructing law. The theological imagery of the grand dichotomy of the Iraqi war between the Coalition of the Willing and the Axis of Evil is scrutinized, in order to frame the drama of the Messianic expectation as it unfolds in and after the war event. This drama leaves no one as a spectator, but forces us all to choose side, also in our Nordic societies. It leaves us with the grand question: what is good and what is evil? In the final part of the article the core question is addressed to the Nordic societies, and a vision of a turn from hope and faith in law to hope and faith through law is envisioned for a new life to come.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- An introduction to Judaism as text-centered traditions and conceptions of law, along with an outline of the Jewish legal history, is given as frame for a more specific presentation of the history of the Jews in the Nordic societies up to modern times with Denmark as the main example, including potential problems such as ritual slaughter and circumcision. The close relationship between Jewish law and ethics, and human rights, is discussed, supplemented with a perspective on the contemporary condition of Jews as a minority coping with problems of identity and assimilation.
