| Summary: | In August of 2016, the Faculty of Theology at the University of Pretoria in South Africa held a joint conference with the University’s Faculty of Law on the topic of “Land and Land Rights in South Africa.” Restitution of land to those displaced by the settlement of non-Africans in South Africa became a topic at the end of apartheid, and it is still an issue today. The conference in Pretoria was very enlightening and highlighted the difficult issues, legal, ethical, financial, and so forth, surrounding the topic. As a student of the book of Psalms, I offered an examination of the concept of land in Book Five of the Psalter. Herewith, I offer what I presented at that conference, an alternative way to consider “land ownership” in today’s society. I pray that it will in some way resonate with various issues that face our world today. |
