Summary/Abstract: Peace has always been a fundamental value for all peoples, cultures and societies around the world. In the current socio-political context, the topic of global peace is of great importance. In this study, we will present a general Christian perspective on the subject of world peace, presenting the notion of peace in the Bible and in some writings of the Holy Fathers of the Church. The study also addresses an ethical-theological dimension on peace, according to the opinions of some Christian moralist theologians, in the context of the military conflict in Eastern Europe. It is the moral duty of every Christian to take it upon himself to maintain the state of inner and outer peace where he works and to pray for the peace of all.
