Throughout the Ancient era and for most of the Middle Ages, the Church stood universally and strongly opposed to usury. In the Modern era the Church has lost her grip of this conviction. However, the conviction against usury has not entirely disappeared. Mr. Mooney is a contemporary voice who calls the Church back to her historic roots in the matter of usury. This book is an extensive and detailed survey of usury over the centuries, and presents a compelling case for returning to what the Church always believed. All of the biblical texts on the subject are expounded. All of the modern “interest theories” are evaluated and found wanting.

 Here are a few comments from readers:

 “This is one of the most thought-provoking books any Christian who takes the Bible seriously as a guide to all of life can read on the subject of interest-taking or usury.” - Christopher Witmer

 “Demolishes the pro-usury ‘Bible’ crowd” - D. Thomas
