Lecture abstract
This lecture explores the intellectual, cultural, and natural conditions of peace, conditions necessary if the search for truth, justice, freedom, and redemption is to achieve its full potential. A crucial requirement is ‘cool’ love and the appreciation of modest, shared joy. When such love and joy are accompanied by the reliable promise of participation in eternal life, eternal peace, and the divine powers, they help to create conditions in our world that promote peace – politically, legally, and religiously.
