Glossary Term
Risk: Medium- Approved rendering
- שלום
- Transliteration
- shalom
Peace
Rich existing OT resource (wholeness, right-relationship) that maps well onto Romans 5:1 in principle. The risk is dilution through ubiquity: shalom is said dozens of times daily as a casual greeting, which can flatten the weight of ‘peace with God through justification’ into just another instance of the everyday word.
