Abstract

A long historical process has been religiously experienced and symbolically imaged as a spiritual tide of divine guidance through an ambiguous history toward a destiny of divine peace. Writing from a Christian perspective, it is recognized that Christianity shares with Judaism and Islam a Mosaic prophetic tradition that began with Abraham and culminated with Jesus for Christians, and with Muhammad for Muslims. The three Abrahamic religions share Isaiah’s messianic promise of eternal peace and Jeremiah’s lament that there ‘is no peace’ as they move between faithful confidence and political pessimism. Philosophical and theological interpretation of a divine tide of inspiration toward ecumenical peace, sustained through violent historical undertows, is illustrated with personal memoir and contemporary experience.KeywordsPearl HarborSunday SchoolBuddhist TextMoral InjuryRelative PeaceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
