Title
Theology and Economics in the Biblical Year of Jubilee

Michael LeFebvre


Abstract (from the Editorial of BET vol. 2.1)

Michael LeFebvre (CPT Second Fellowship) offers a rich exploration of the biblical Year of Jubilee, in the hope of encouraging and contributing to deeper reflection on how the Mosaic Law might be used to inform contemporary economic theory. LeFebvre persuasively argues that Moses has much to say here, and pushes back against the near exclusive Greco-Roman focus of contemporary economic theorists and historians.
