Meditations on Hope and Peace explores ways communities can peacefully and purposefully flourish by living faithfully in God’s grace and mercy. It focuses on testimonies in the Hebrew Bible to God’s creative and redemptive actions, and to the biblical witnesses of early Christian communities. Meditations on Hope and Peace is in eight sections. Three of these cover the Old Testament, with the other five from the New Testament. The latter sections are Matthew’s and Mark’s Gospels, New Testament letters apart from those attributed to Paul or John, Luke’s Gospel, the book of Acts and Paul’s letters, and John’s Gospel, John’s letters and the book of Revelation. These groupings reflect natural connections between authors, content and context, and with their sub-groupings, give helpful insights to the concerns of the Bible’s authors and the communities in which they lived and with which they shared.
