Several sources come quickly to mind:

1. Charles Ayala on economics of early Christian fathers
2. Michael Hudson, Baruch Levine, et al, on debt cancellations in the
ancient middle east
3. John C. Lincoln, Christ's Object in Life, available from Lincoln Inst of
Land Policy
4. Walter Brueggeman, The Land
5. John Kelly, ms in progress, possibly available from the author (see cc
above).
