PROCLAIMING THE PRINCE OF PEACE:
MISSIOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF BIBLICAL RECONCILIATION
by GALEN PETERSON
One of the names given to the Messiah prophetically in Isaiah 9:6 (MT 9:5) is íBìLÈÎøNÇ,
“Prince of Peace.”1 The term affixes purpose regarding peace to the ministry of the Messiah and
through His authority (John 4:34; 17:4; Rom 5:1). Jesus declared that the manner in which he
brings peace is distinct from that of humanity, saying in John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you; My
peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.” It follows that all aspects related to
peace will be shaped by this distinction. This paper seeks to establish the parameters associated
with one peace-related dichotomy, namely that of reconciliation, and will show that reconciliation
exists both as the world gives and as given by Jesus, and has relevance in the Holy Land.
