It considers globalization, debt, and the anti-debt campaigns. It also looks at economic, development and environmental approaches. In terms of solutions it considers holistic development, appropriate technology, modernisation, and contraction and convergence. To provide a biblical response, the themes of Sabbath and Jubilee are considered looking at the Old Testament teaching and how this was applied by Jesus.</div> <div> <A HREF="chapter8.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 8"><U>Back to Chapter 8</U></A>                <A HREF="chapter10.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter 10"><U>Forward to Chapter 10</U></A></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> ________________________________________________________________________</div> <bR> <div> <B>UPDATE</B></div> <bR> <div> In this chapter we mentioned that the Christian development agencies were now very much involved in issues concerned with climate change.
