occurs twice in the Bible-with minor variations-here in Isaiah and
again in Micah 4:1-3." |

"Peace and War," Christian Reflection, The Center for
Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2004.
| "How can God be both a God of
peace and a God of war? The ancient Israelites reached no consensus
about holy war, just war, and pacifism. Yet Scripture faithfully
records their long and difficult debates, for the diversity of
viewpoints arose out of a deep faith in God who had brought the
people out of Egypt." |
