Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical, ethical, and economic dimensions of usury, tracing its evolution from ancient Hebrew law to the teachings of Jesus. The author meticulously examines the original context and meaning of biblical passages, challenging common interpretations that have justified the practice of charging interest on loans. The exploration extends beyond scripture, drawing upon insights from renowned figures like Shakespeare and Bacon to illustrate the shift in understanding of usury over time.

By delving into historical examples of financial reform and drawing parallels with modern economic principles, the author presents a compelling argument against the practice of usury.
