Description: Ross and Gloria Kinsler, during three decades as Christian mission workers in Central America, witnessed firsthand the cruel injustice of the developing new global economy. Beginning with the story of manna from heaven in Exodus 16 and continuing through the Gospels' account of Jesus and the rich young ruler, the Kinslers demonstrate clearly and covincingly how a central theme of social justice runs throughout the entire Bible. The idea of Jubilee, that everyone should have enough and no one should have too much, is at the heart of the vision of God's kingdom proclaimed by the Hebrew prophets and by Jesus. The book ends with a discussion of what this unavoidable reading of Scripture means to, and demands of, believers in the God of Abraham.
