Inhaltsangabe

Usury: A Scriptural, Ethical And Economic View is a book written by Calvin Elliott in 1902. The book explores the concept of usury, which is the practice of lending money at an exorbitant or illegal rate of interest. The author examines the topic from a scriptural, ethical and economic perspective, providing a thorough analysis of the issue.Elliott begins by examining the biblical teachings on usury, citing various passages from the Old and New Testaments. He argues that the Bible condemns usury as a sin and that Christians should avoid engaging in it. The author also explores the historical context of usury, tracing its origins to ancient times and its evolution over the centuries.From an ethical standpoint, Elliott argues that usury is harmful to society and that it exploits the poor and vulnerable. He contends that lenders who charge high interest rates are guilty of taking advantage of those who are in desperate need of money. The author also discusses the impact of usury on the economy, arguing that it can lead to financial instability and economic inequality.Overall, Usury: A Scriptural, Ethical And Economic View provides a comprehensive analysis of the issue of usury. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the history, ethics, and economics of lending and borrowing money at interest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
