Blessed are the peacemakers: can there be peace without justice?
Dr. Jessie Rogers explains that the biblical definition of peacemaking involves more than avoiding conflict or maintaining general happiness.
Writing for The Irish Catholic, Rogers notes that Jesus' blessing of peacemakers in the Sermon on the Mount connects peace to a hunger for righteousness. This vision of peace, which Jesus inherited from the prophets of Israel, remains inseparable from justice.
