What Does The Bible Say About Peace?
The Bible is a book of war. Moses, David, and even Jesus are remembered for victories won at the expense of their enemies. Yet, as RBC writer Dean Ohlman shows in the following pages, the Bible is also a history of peace. By showing how the story of the Bible begins, climaxes, and ends, Dean shows where conflict comes from and why the people of Christ have every reason to love peace rather than war.
May the following “biography of peace” help us realize that the Bible doesn’t predict wars to encourage wars. May we grow together in our love for the Teacher who said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
