Yet it is surprisingly absent. Willard Swartley's \u003ci\u003eCovenant of Peace\u003c\/i\u003e remedies this deficiency, restoring to New Testament theology and ethics the peace that many works have missed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Swartley 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, \u003ci\u003eCovenant of Peace\u003c\/i\u003e confronts readers anew with the compelling New Testament witness to peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Willard M.
