ISBN: 9780802829375.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne would think that peace, a term that occurs as many as one hundred times in the New Testament, would enjoy a prominent place in theology and ethics textbooks. Yet it is surprisingly absent. Willard Swartleys Covenant of Peace remedies this deficiency, restoring to New Testament theology and ethics the peace that many works have missed.\n\nIn this comprehensive yet accessible book Swartley explicates virtually all of the New Testament, relating peace -- and the associated emphases of love for enemies and reconciliation -- to core theological themes such as salvation, christology, and the reign of God. No other work in English makes such a contribution.\n\nSwartley concludes by considering specific practices that lead to peacemaking and their place in our contemporary world. Retrieving a historically neglected element in the Christian message, Covenant of Peace confronts readers anew with the compelling New Testament witness to peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wm.
