The Priestly Blessing and the Gift of Peace
SIDIC (1988)
  • Reverend Lawrence E. Frizzell, D.Phil., Seton Hall University
Abstract
Expansions of the priestly blessing offer early examples of how its riches were tapped by communities with both existential concerns and eschatological hope. It continues to reverberate down through the ages in synagogues and churches, challenging each generation to realize that its true peace is found only with God.
