The Peace of God and the Truce of God thus moved in the rhetorical landscape of subverting violence by redirecting it to more appropriate areas, such as a crusade in the Middle East against Islam to recapture Jerusalem. Thomas Head, “The Development of the Peace of God in Aquitaine (970-1005)” Speculum 74.3 (July 1999), pp. Terri Morrison; Wayne A. Conaway (24 July 2006).

And now that you have promised to maintain the peace among yourselves you are obligated to succour your brethren in the East, menaced by an accursed race, utterly alienated from God.

In mainstream trinitarian Christianity, God the Father is regarded as the first Person of the Trinity, followed by the second person, Jesus Christ the Son, and the third person, God the Holy Spirit. In Jewish tradition, Jesus is not considered a prophet or messiah; rather, he is regarded as a historical figure who had followers during his time. When we read in John 18:10-12 right when Jesus is about to be arrested: Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. An initiate had to fast, confess his sins, take a symbolic bath, have his hair cut to represent humility, and spend a night in prayer while his weapons lay on an altar symbolizing the dedication of his arms to the Church and God.
