**What if the kingdom of God is not a place, but a person?**
In this timely monograph, Christian T. Collins Winn argues that the kingdom of God is Jesus himself. Drawing on a wide breadth of liberation theology, *Jesus, Jubilee, and the Politics of God's Reign* amplifies the echoes of salvation history in contemporary struggles for social justice.
Collins Winn demonstrates how the institution of the Jubilee year exemplifies the kingdom of God. A semicentennial celebration prescribed in the book of Leviticus, Jubilee prescribed the redistribution of wealth and freeing of prisoners. Hope for Jubilee persists in apocalyptic rhetoric, from the exhortations of Old Testament prophets to those of modern progressives.
Likewise, Jesus's ministry, passion, and resurrection convey the justice of Jubilee and urgency of apocalypse. His conquest over death represents the ultimate vindication of the oppressed in the kingdom of God, an "outpouring of Spirit" seen today in continuing restorative efforts by oppressed communities in the face of death-dealing institutions. Historically informed and passionately written, *Jesus, Jubilee, and the Politics of God's Reign* challenges readers to find Jesus in the marginalized persons of our own time.
