	Esias E. Meyer The Jubilee in Leviticus 25: A Theological Ethical Interpretation from a South African Perspective LIT Verlag, 2005, 320 Seiten, Broschur, 3-8258-8805-3 29,90 EUR	The English idiom "once bitten twice shy" comes to mind in this study, where Esias Meyer argues that biblical critics have an ethical responsibility to explore the oppressive potential of biblical texts. He does this in the light of the apartheid history and especially the way in which biblical texts were used to both justify and criticise apartheid. An ideological critique of Leviticus 25 is presented, which starts with a thorough synchronic reading and ends with a possible socio-historical context. This interpretation largely disturbs the liberating image that the text has, but is an attempt to be more honest about the way in which theologians could use biblical texts to contribute to a better world.

	Sun-Jong Kim Se reposer pour la terre, se reposer pour Dieu L’année sabbatique en Lv 25,1-7 de Gruyter, 2012, 360 Seiten, Gebunden, 978-3-11-027557-5 99,95 EUR	Sprache: Französisch The sabbatical year law in Lv 25,1–7 stipulates the rest of the land and includes foreigners in the list of the beneficiaries, differently from the fallow year law in Ex 23,10–11 and from the debt-release law in Dt 15,1–11. These characteristic features originate from the universalism of creation theology of the Holiness Code: the sabbatical year law in Leviticus aims to practice the God’s creation order in Gn 1–2,4a in human history. Moreover, this law functions as a criterion of the interpretation of the history of Israel; the exilic tragedy in Babylonia has been caused by the negligence of the rest of the Israel’s land. The study on the sabbatical year law in Leviticus contributes not only to the research on the compositional history of the Hebrew Bible, but also offers the precious messages on the political, socio-economic, and ecological problems in our times.
