The Biblical Vision of Sabbath Economics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739716240)

There is enough for everyone. That's the vision woven into the warp and weft of the Bible, through the principles of Sabbath Economics.

This is God's vision of human living, where the world is an abundant gift. It is a vision where we live with gratitude and accept our limits; where forgiveness is not just a spiritual matter but a practical reality for the systems of debt and ownership. It is a vision of good news for the poor.

In this concise and powerful collection of essays, Ched Myers grasps the nettle of Biblical stories and parables we prefer not to take literally, revealing an ancient standard of social justice waiting to be revived.

"Sabbath Economics it is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the subversive, radical, and life-giving aspects of what it means to practice Sabbath and its principles."

-Dr Jayme Reaves, author Safeguarding the Stranger
