Description

Land reformation is a relevant and important subject, especially in developing countries. With this significance in mind, what can we learn from the examples in Luke-Acts that speak to our current view of the redistribution of land ownership rights?

In this skilful and pioneering work, Dr. Jo?o Paulo Thomaz de Aquino explores the present-day implications for viewing land as an economic factor through examining the parallels found in Luke-Acts. This in-depth study reveals how land was viewed and used in a radically different fashion by Jesus and his followers when compared to Israel under the rule of the Roman Empire. Exploring how Luke draws upon the Old Testament ethics, specifically the jubilee legislation, Dr. Thomaz de Aquino proposes that Jesus presents God as the ultimate owner of the land, and in light of that, we are called to steward it responsibly. An excellent resource for scholars and all those interested in the social implications of the gospel.
