I dont think a pure expression of peace/love/joy is possible except as the most disgusting kitsch possible, because any work that does not deal with darkness and tragedy ultimately comes off a delusional fantasy. True works of positivity move through tragedy, or redeem tragedy. There are many books like those in picrel that manage to be deeply joyful by doing this.

I feel like youre just talking about the bible in abstract, without actually considering what it says.
Have you read Ecclesiastes? Job? any of the old testament books really? And even if you mean just the gospels its hard not to see its narrative structure as ultimately a divine tragedy.
