The Book of Leviticus describes God ordering a jubilee year every fifty years, when debts will be cancelled, slaves freed and land redistributed.
Questions:
- Is such a jubilee desirable and possible today?
- If so, what would it involve?
- Is this realistic?
You might find it helpful to read:
- The instructions for the original jubilee, in Leviticus 25, 8-55
- A call for a new jubilee by various UK faith leaders in early 2013, organised by the Jubilee Debt Campaign
