Скачать или смотреть The Financial Reality of Jesus’ World: Taxes, Debt, and Roman Power

Most people imagine the world of Jesus as purely spiritual — sermons, symbols, and sacred words.
But for those who lived in first-century Judea, daily life was shaped far more by economics than theology.

This documentary explores the harsh financial reality of Roman rule: relentless taxation, permanent debt, land seizure, and an extraction system designed to concentrate wealth and enforce dependence. Poverty was not accidental. It was structural.

We examine how Rome governed through economic pressure, how debt traps dismantled family ownership, and how religious institutions became intertwined with financial power. The Temple was not only a sacred space — it was a treasury, regulator, and revenue engine operating with imperial approval.

Against this backdrop, the words of Jesus carried economic weight. Forgiveness meant debt relief. Release meant survival. And challenging the monetization of faith became a threat to stability itself.

This is not theology.
It is financial history.
