PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This book challenges the church to ask whether or not the gospel as we commonly interpret it today really embodies the jubilee vision of the Bible. Imagine a group of forty adults living in a community, assisting each other to buy houses, sharing material wealth and releasing the surplus to help others as a practical outworking of the biblical principles of jubilee.

Kim Tan was part of this group and The Jubilee Gospel seeks to unpack these principles of sacrificial generosity, stewardship and social holiness.

Starting with the OT principle of jubilee and tracing the themes through the Bible, we discover a way of living that reflects God's justice and compassion and embraces kingdom politics and economics.

What may seem buried deep in the early parts of the OT is brought up to date as we're confronted by Jesus's teaching and principles of wealth distribution, cancellation of debt, hospitality and storehouses.
