The Jubilee Gospel: The Jubilee, Spirit and the Church (Kim Tan)
Imagine a group of forty adults living in community, assisting each other to buy houses, sharing material wealth and releasing the surplus to help others. This was not a cult but a practical outworking of the biblical principles of Jubilee.
Kim Tan was part of this group. and through The Jubilee Gospel seeks to unpack these
incredibly challenging and mostly unknown principles of sacrificial generosity, stewardship and social holiness.
Starting with the Old Testament institution of Jubilee and tracing the themes through the rest of the Bible, we discover a holy way of living that reflects God's justice and compassion, and that embraces kingdom politics and economics.
What may seem buried deep in the early parts of the Old Testament is brought up to date by Kim as we're confronted not only by Jesus' teaching but with principles of wealth distribution, cancellation of debt, hospitality and storehouses.
As biblical integrity meets radical ideas, soaked in the holy justice of God, the end result is a remarkably life-altering book.
