New way to access Jubilee Centre podcasts

Jonathan Tame, April 2013

Price: £0.00

Unfortunately the media company which was uploading our podcasts to iTunes is no longer working with audio files. As a result there are currently two Jubilee Centre accounts in iTunes, and all podcasts up to the end of 2011 are on the old account, which is accessible here:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jubilee-centre/id319798824

Until we have resolved this problem, please access all pre-2012 podcasts directly by using the above link, as the buttons on the individual resource pages will send you to the new Jubilee Centre account, which only has the most recent podcasts.

We apologise for this inconvenience, and hope you can still find the recording you are looking for!

Globalisation (talk) photograph

Globalisation (talk)

Paul Mills, January 2006

Price: £0.00

The Bible has much to say about the path we should wish the process of globalisation to take. The potential for trade to benefit the poor is great but, too often, the rich do not play by the rules they insist that others respect. The facets of globalisation that undermine autocratic state power and help transmit the gospel are to be welcomed, whilst Christians should be wary of attempts to ever-weaken the nation state as the appropriate and democratic level of legislative power.
