Ecosystems of Jubilee: Economic Ethics For the Neighborhood

Publisher Description

Ecosystems of Jubilee, by Jose Humphreys and Adam Gustine, is a deeply theological yet highly practical look at the economic ethics and practices of the Old Testament, their fulfillment in Jesus, and their application for seeking justice today. Focusing on the triad of gleaning, sabbath and jubilee, this book will not only motivate Christians embedded in local communities to embrace a serious commitment to economic development as a way of seeking justice, but it will also guide people in the application of these principles through stories and examples, models, and practices. These applications include personal, church, and systemic expressions to help Christians engaged in the broader society as well as those looking to engage this work from a church-centered view.
