The Deeds of Love in the Service of Peace

Conference on Christianity and Literature October 28-29 2011

Sometimes, great deeds and other times, small ones, hidden from view, invisible but effective no less.

While this implies a kingdom ordered by love, Jesus is still the Prince of Peace and not the Prince of Love--at least in the prophet Isaiah.
