I am grateful to Conrad Kanagy and Santos Books for taking on the republication of this book. I first wrote the book in the mid-70's as a resource for my own denomination, The United Church of Christ. The national church had just discovered the Hebrew word shalom and came to use it widely and easily for every positive gesture we might undertake. I think my study is well-grounded, but at the time, it served a rather careless, undemanding notion of peace. Its republication now comes at a time when we are greatly sobered by any prospect for peace in the world, and when our hopes and efforts for peacemaking all too readily collide with what is widely perceived as our national interest. Nevertheless, I have no doubt that the recovery, the review, and the future implications of peace and peacemaking in the Bible are well worth the effort. Our beginning with this subject, as with all subjects, is the claim and reality of the biblical God, who is attested as a lively agent and a real character. We can see in the witness of scripture the peacemaking capacity of God across the various spheres of creation.
