520 |a Eurocentric Christianity since the time of Constantine has often neglected its scriptural traditions of economic justice, choosing instead to support colonial policies that seldom benefit the “least of these” throughout the world. Yet, many texts from the Old Testament speak to the rights of the economically downtrodden, and Christians interested in economic justice must take into account various biblical teachings on the subject. The complex differences between ancient Israel's economic situation and the current economy notwithstanding, how might a return to the scriptural call to justice confront current Christian perspectives in a global economy? By exploring teachings on economic justice from the diverse genres of the Old Testament, Christians can develop an economic ethic informed by biblical principles rather than submitting to cultural pressure derived from electoral mandates. Such a task however, is not exempt from several interpretive dangers, and Christians must take great care in discerning these teachings with a consistent and reflective interpretive strategy.
