Economic deliverance begins with the Old Testament. So does economic success.

The Old Testament included four kinds of laws: (1) laws governing the priesthood; (2) laws governing Israel's families and tribes; (3) laws governing the land of Israel and its sale, leasing, and inheritance; (4) cross-boundary laws. The first three were annulled by Jesus' ministry and the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. The fourth set of laws still is in force. The most famous of these laws are called the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20; Deuteronomy 5).

The debt laws were cross-boundary laws.

I have written detailed expositions of the principles and explicit laws of finance that are found in the Old Testament. My goal is to provide a chapter on every law. At age 67, I may not make it. It has taken me since 1973 to write a chapter on every passage dealing with economics. I have written about 9,000 printed pages. I am not yet finished.

The material on finances is much more limited. These chapters are both theological and practical.

I am asking you to change one aspect of your life, based on what the Bible requires. I therefore have an obligation to present detailed studies of what the Bible teaches on these matters. A couple of quick comments are not sufficient, given the magnitude of what you are trying to achieve.

I plan to write a detailed, verse-by-verse commentary on both Testaments' financial principles until I finish the project or the project finishes me.
