  "description_academic_short": "Prince of Peace is one of the royal names given to the promised Messiah in Isaiah 9:6 and is understood by Christians to be fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The title points to the peace He establishes between God and His people and to the righteous peace associated with His kingdom. It does not mean merely the absence of conflict, but wholeness, reconciliation, and blessing under God's rule.",
  "description_academic_full": "Prince of Peace is a biblical title from Isaiah 9:6, where the promised child and royal Son is called by exalted names that Christians have long understood as fulfilled in Jesus Christ. In this title, “peace” refers not only to outward calm but to the fuller biblical idea of peace as reconciliation, well-being, order, and blessing under the rule of God. Jesus brings peace decisively through His saving work, making peace between God and those who trust Him, and He is also the righteous King whose reign is characterized by justice and peace. While Christians differ on some details of how the kingdom promises are worked out in history and in the age to come, the title clearly presents the Messiah as the true ruler through whom God's peace is given.",
