Summary/Abstract: In the Letters of St. Peter, and especially in his First Letter, we find an original understanding of peace as God’s goodness for those who resist taking revenge for the bad treatment they have received from a malevolent environment. The Author of the Letter convinces his addressees with a long citation from Psalm 33 LXX in 1 Pe 3:10-12. The Second Letter of Peter sees peace in yet another light, as an attitude of Christians that is revealed in the highest moral perfection, attainable through a profound knowledge of Christ.
