Exploring Jubilee as a Paradigm for Liberation and Flourishing.

Every fifty years, ancient Israel was called to do something extraordinary: cancel debts, free the enslaved, return land, and break the intergenerational cycles of poverty and exclusion. But this radically subversive vision of Jubilee was never meant to be economic policy alone. It was a declaration of who God is, what God’s world is meant to look like, and what it means to be God’s liberated people. 

In Part One, John Scheepers traces this Jubilee thread through Scripture, from its ancient Near Eastern roots, through the prophets, to the explosive Nazareth sermon of Luke 4 and the radical economic sharing of the early church in Acts. In Part Two, Thandi Gamedze brings this paradigm to bear on urgent contemporary realities, such as apartheid spatial planning, land restitution, educational disparities, and the crisis in Gaza. Join us for this online seminar where we explore what this ancient, radical vision demands of us in this present moment.
