Synopsis

In this timeless exploration, Calvin Elliott examines the enduring question of usury through the intertwined perspectives of scripture, ethics, and economics. Drawing from biblical teachings, he traces the moral arguments against charging interest, revealing their deep spiritual and historical roots. Elliott’s work challenges readers to confront the conflict between religious principles and the demands of an evolving economic world. With precision and moral urgency, he addresses the social consequences of interest-based lending, the responsibility of wealth, and the tension between compassion and commerce. This is not simply a condemnation of financial practices but a call to align economic activity with justice and human dignity. Written with clarity and conviction, the book remains strikingly relevant today, urging us to reflect on our own economic systems and the values that underlie them. Whether read for theological insight, ethical guidance, or historical understanding, Elliott’s analysis offers a powerful reminder that the moral dimensions of money are as vital now as they were in ancient times.
