| Summary: | How might the principles of biblical Covenant apply to U.S. society, which was founded on covenantal ideals? How might principles of Israel's Covenant, relevant to a simple agricultural society, be applied to an extremely complex economy dominated by interrelated transnational corporations? Is it possible that churches, synagogues, mosques, and other communities deeply rooted in the Bible could find in the biblical Covenant the basis for insisting that people's economic rights be protected? Horsley's book explores these and other economic issues in the Bible, Offering pastors, students, and laity a clearer understanding of the Bible's clarion call for economic justice for all--an issue that is sure to resonate during today's trying times.
