Jesus is Shalom: a Vision of Peace from the Gospel

In this timely work Joseph Grassi studies the true meaning of peace found in the New Testament documents. The New Testament reveals that there was a struggle between true and deceptive meanings of peace around the time of Jesus and just after his death and resurrection and subsequent ascension. The challenge presented to the world by the gospels and St. Paul is the image of Jesus, a Messiah of peace and non-violence - an image that challenges us in today's world. Peace can only be understood from the full image and meaning of shalom as found in the Hebrew Bible and the four gospels. This book studies this image along with practical responses to it that Jesus asks of those who are his true disciples. Here we will find hope, encouragement, and practical examples needed to transform our own lives and by example, the violent atmosphere of so much of the world that surrounds us.
