What Peace Means
E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Melissa Er-Raqabi, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"What Peace Means" by Henry Van Dyke is a collection of sermons written in the early 20th century, specifically during the post-World War I era. This reflective work focuses on the profound topic of peace, both within the individual and on a global scale, exploring the spiritual dimensions that underpin the concept of peace. Van Dyke addresses the turmoil of his time, emphasizing the need for inner peace to foster a more harmonious world. In this book, Van Dyke offers three distinct sermons that tackle the theme of peace from various angles. He begins with "Peace in the Soul," which emphasizes the necessity of divine love, control, and forgiveness as the foundation for personal peace. The second sermon, "Peace on Earth Through Righteousness," articulates the importance of justice in establishing lasting peace, particularly in a post-war context where righteousness must guide actions. Finally, "The Power of an Endless Life" points to the hope of immortality as essential for true peace, arguing that faith in life beyond death empowers individuals to face earthly struggles. Together, these reflections urge readers to seek peace from within in order to contribute to a peaceful society, highlighting the inseparable link between personal and global peace.
