Student Loan Debt: What Bible Teaches about Forgiveness

Christians are hotly divided on the forgiveness of student-loan debt. Last month, President Biden announced his plan, which forgives up to $10,000 in debt for those making less than $125,000 a year (or $250,000 for couples) and $20,000 for those who received Pell Grants.

At the announcement, Christians began to argue the merits and morals of federally mandated debt forgiveness. Most of the conversations have revolved around various interpretations of scripture related to personal debts.
