Deeply rooted in the story of Jesus of Nazareth is a concern for
people mired in debt. Debt was a central control mechanism for the
administration of the Roman Empire. Client states such as those of
the Herods in Palestine were entrusted with maintenance of the
established order, the Pax Romana, and their patronage entailed
legions of the indebted. Debt kept peasants at their plows and
contributed to the suffering bodies and tortured minds that Jesus
attempted to heal. His parables and central prayer feature the
forgiveness of money debts. In the end, his praxis to liberate
people from perennial debt led to a Roman cross, but his memory was
kept alive at the table around which he communed with tax
collectors and debtors alike.
