NCLA Review - The author is chair of Solidaridad, the InterChurch Foundation for Action for Latin America, based in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Quoting liberally and often from both the Old and New Testaments, he offers a biblically based alternative to current economic systems. Although he recommends keeping a Bible at hand while reading this book, a helpful index of Scriptural texts is included. Haan divides this highly readable work into four sections: a biblical understanding of costs; the origin and nature of economic injustice; a meditation on the Fifth Commandment; and, an elaboration on today's economic worlds. Each of the 21 chapters are designed to support one another, but have been written to stand on their own for ease in personal or group study. While this work would be of value at any time, in troubling economic days such as ours, this would be a relevant and worthwhile addition to your church library. Ratiing: 3 —WS ( )
