Publisher's Synopsis
The Hebrew word "shalom" doesn't just mean "peace." At its core, "shalom" means "wholeness." That's why it's translated throughout the Bible with words like health, welfare, peace, safety, prosperity, calm, success, well-being, close friendship, completeness, and more. This word-study workbook takes the reader step-by-step through the key scriptures which portray this powerful Hebrew word in its wide variety of meanings. For each scripture, the original Hebrew phrase containing the word "shalom" is shown, followed by the verse's full context in English. Various Bible translations of each verse are included for convenient cross-translation comparison. This book also teaches the reader how to easily find and recognize the Hebrew root letters of "shalom" in each verse, even if the reader has never seen Hebrew letters before. The last lesson of the book concludes with a brief New Testament word study on a Biblical Greek word for "peace" - "eirene" - demonstrating how the Hebraic concept of "shalom" continues to be expressed throughout the New Testament.
