It was known, even in Christian communities, if land or objects were held as collateral, the collateral had a 50 year shelf life then returned to borrowers in a jubilee.

For instance a loan is given, in collateral in year 49 of a 50 year jubilee. The collateral’s value would be less knowing a jubilee is within one year away. At which point the land or other collateral had to returned.

More than 450 years ago, a request came to John Calvin to write on the character of and need for reform in the church. The circumstances were quite different from those that inspired other writings of Calvin, and enable us to see other dimensions of his defense of the Reformation. The Emperor Charles V was calling the Diet of the Holy Roman Empire to meet in the city of Speyer in 1544. Martin Bucer, the great reformer of Strassburg, appealed to Calvin to draft a statement of the doctrines of and necessity for the Reformation. The result was remarkable. Theodore Beza, Calvin’s friend and successor in Geneva, called “The Necessity for Reforming the Church” the most powerful work of his time.
