Jesus and the Jubilee

The Biblical Roots of the Year of God's Favor

by John S. Bergsma

Isaiah 65:18

In biblical times, a jubilee was a time to rejoice.

In Jesus and the Jubilee, biblical scholar John Bergsma gets to the roots of the jubilee, showing how this practice was established in order to preserve freedom, family, and the fullness of God’s blessing for the ancient Israelites.

Celebrate—it’s time for a jubilee!

"The reader will come to a deeper understanding of the nature of jubilee, but surely more importantly, will begin to live a life of jubilee faith."
