Jesus, Debt, and the Lord's Prayer

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the theme of debt, the narrative explores how Jesus of Nazareth addressed the struggles of those burdened by financial obligations within the oppressive structure of the Roman Empire. Debt served as a means of control, impacting the lives of peasants and fueling their suffering. Jesus’ teachings, including parables and prayers centered on debt forgiveness, reflect his mission to liberate the indebted. His commitment to this cause ultimately led to his crucifixion, yet his legacy endures through his interactions with tax collectors and debtors.
