Covenant of Peace: The Missing Peace in New Testament

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Swartley, Willard M., PUBLISHER: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, One would think that "peace," a term that occurs as many as a hundred times in the ong>Newong> Testament, would enjoy a prominent ong>placeong> in theological and ethical textbooks. But it is surprisingly absent. "Covenant of Peace" seeks to restore to ong>Newong> Testament theology and ethics the peace that many standard texts have missed. In this accessible volume, Willard Swartley explicates virtually all of the ong>Newong> Testament, relating peace -- and the related emphases of love for enemies, non-retaliation, and reconciliation -- to core theological themes such as salvation, Christology, and the reign of God. No other book in English makes this contribution. Swartley concludes by considering practices that lead to peacemaking and what ong>placeong> these might have in our contemporary world. Remedying a historical deficiency in biblical scholarship, Swartley's book beckons us to hear the compelling ong>Newong> Testament witness to peace. Acquista Ora
