The Old Testament Laws on Jubilee and Debt Cancellation

I know, we only just interviewed Walter Brueggemann! But he's just brought a book out entitled Money and Possessions and we've still got unresolved questions after our chat with Justin Welby on that subject. So why not spend another hour in the digital presence of one of the great biblical scholars of our time?! And as you'd expect, it was an hour chock-full of wisdom and insight.

“Money regularly morphs into an idolatry and that idolatry will lead to the commoditization of human relationships...” - Walter Brueggemann
