work at quite a high level of economic and financial expertise has been done on
this and I have tried to draw on the findings of this, as part of the ‘Jubilee’
movement. I have been reading, discussing and writing about this for over ten
years now, and I am quite used to meeting ‘the usual objections’. Recently,
following <I>Surprised by Hope</I>, one or
two people have taken me to task quite strongly. I don’t have time for a full
answer, but I hope this will be a start.<O:P _moz-userdefined=""></O:P></SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ntwrightpage.com/Wright_Debt.htm"><P class="MsoNormal"><SPAN class="GramE"><SPAN lang="EN-GB">As for the suggestion (made by one of my
