Peace

with contributions from Ernest R. Palen, A. B. Colvin, J. B. Holloway, Oswaldo Aranha

"A Correspondent" in a column in The Times London, England

The frequency of the word "peace" in the New Testament suggests that it indicates a fundamental element in Christian experience and that its possession should be the distinguishing mark of the Christian.

The great words of the New Testament—forgiveness, reconciliation, redemption—seem to connote an experience which, though possessing itself a certain completeness, is yet essentially a means to a still more profound experience, an inner peace which both leads to and is based upon the attainment of harmony with God and therefore with one's fellow men.
