Paperback. Condición: 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. The book contrasts 'usury', understood historically as any form of interest, with the more modern concept of 'interest', highlighting the legal and societal implications of this distinction. 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. This book invites readers to reconsider their understanding of ethical finance and its impact on individuals and communities. The author's insightful analysis sheds light on the enduring relevance of ancient wisdom in shaping a just and equitable financial system for all.
