The Year of Jubilee and the Remission of Debt:
Elements of Reflection in View of the Biblical Apostolate – Thomas P. Osborne
The Fifth Plenary Assembly of the Catholic Biblical Federation has loudly proclaimed that the Word of God is the source of life for the men and women of the world. The fact is that even in a question as complex as the problem of international debt and its effects on the poor countries of our planet, with all of its extremely technical political, economic and historical aspects, this Word calls us. It was addressed to the complex reality of the Jewish people of 2000 years ago. It challenges us today, us and our institutions, at this end of the second millennium. We are called to hear this Word and to listen to the individuals and groups who are uttering their cry of distress. Would not the role of contextual biblical animation be that of offering this possibility to hear, with the hope that the heard Word be translated into commitment? http://www.sedos.org/english/osborne.htm
