Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A continuation of the fragmentary Gothic Skeireins, In the Houses of the Poor extends its Antiochian exegetical trajectory on John's Gospel into contemporary historical and political contexts. Throughout, Matthew Franklin Cooper develops a biblical critique of debt-lording, slavery, and justi…ce by setting biblical teaching against both Roman imperial practice and modern systems of oppression.He begins with the Jubilee legislation of Leviticus 25 and Isaiah 61, rooted in the ancient Near Eastern 'clean slate' proclamations in which debts were annulled and bond-servants restored. In Scripture, however, Jubilee is reoriented as divine command: remission is not charity but the very definition of God's justice-liberating the debtor, restoring the poor, and granting even the land its rest. The prophets radicalize this practice, condemning those who moralize debt and exploit the vulnerable, while Paul inverts Roman categories of debt and slavery. In Roman society, debt carried both legal and moral weight: default was treated as failure, and slavery its consequence. Paul redefines these terms. The only true debt is to God, paradoxically cancelled in Christ (Col 2:14), and slavery to Christ becomes freedom (Rom 6). Thus, what the empire called righteousness-repayment, bondage, unforgiveness-Paul unmasks as false, proclaiming God's justice as mercy for the poor.Naming the ongoing Israeli campaign against Gaza as genocide, Cooper exposes the hypocrisy of global powers that praise their generosity even as they arm and justify such violence. He cites the Flour Massacre of February 2024-when over a hundred starving Palestinians were killed while waiting for food-as a contemporary instance of Caesar's logic of power: empire that calls itself just while perpetuating atrocity. In this context, the biblical Jubilee becomes not merely a historical-economic measure but also a living politics of resistance, unveiling God's order as release and mercy in contrast to human systems of death.
