Description
Summary:This study reflects upon the way in which an economy of extraction is indicated in the Bible, and the several ways in which the tradition of faith responds to such an economy in emancipatory and anticipatory ways. The practice of extraction is modeled in the narratives of Pharaoh and Solomon. Israel’s emancipatory narrative of the Exodus functions as a liturgy to imagine and empower an alternative of neighborly economics. The sustained re-performance of that narrative continues to critique and subvert systems of predation and to invite human agency for departure from and alternative to such systems.
