The Way of Abundance: Economic Justice in Scripture and Society Author: Edith Rasell Retail Price: $34.00 Our Price: $19.49 Save: 14.51 (42.68%) Availability: In Stock        In The Way of Abundance, economist and minister Edith Rasell examines Old and New Testament teachings on economic justice in the context of the ancient economic systems and circumstances they addressed. Drawing on the biblical narrative and on research from the social sciences, Rasell examines three eras—the ancient Israelites' settlements in Canaan, the time of the monarchies, and first-century Palestine—and describes the transition from a non-monetized, subsistence-based economy to a commercial one with wage labor, product markets, and a surplus that benefited a tiny elite. But across this vast expanse of time and economic transition, the Bible called for a just economy. And its vision of economic justice can be a vision for justice seekers today. The book concludes with specific public policy proposals and personal practices that would move contemporary society closer to the Bible's economic vision. Similar Items you may enjoy!
