4.9/5 (17593 ratings)

Description:Augustine surveys an ancient historian's account of the deterioration of the Roman Empire during the Punic Wars: "Then began the patricians to oppress the people as slaves, to condemn them to death or scourging, as the kings had done, to drive them from their holdings, and to tyrannize over those who had no property to lose." No nation can survive such cruelty, but Augustine's source goes on to tell of what was a worse oppression: "The people [were] overwhelmed by these oppressive measures, and most of all by usury..." (Augustine, The City of God, Bk. III, ch. 17)Throughout history usury has been a powerful tool of conquest and subjugation. In older times, such as Augustine wrote about, the consequences of usury were overtly violent. In our day usury still destroys men and nations, though it has a more sophisticated public image. Every year people and governments sink deeper and deeper into hopelessly unpayable debt, while at the same time professors and economists defend the usury system. Is there a way out? Delve inside this book for some real answers.What is usury? What is the message of the Bible concerning usury? What are the consequences of ignoring or denying this message? These questions, and more, are addressed in this book.Such questions were not controversial among ancient Christians, for the answers were plainly evident to them. Ancient Christians did not appear foolish to the world for condemning usury, for the world also saw the ruin it caused. Medieval Christians vigorously debated these questions, for the world began to argue that usury might be a legitimate source of gain. In our day very few are asking such questions, for usury has become a way of life for everyone -- the great and the small.We desperately need to reopen this issue. Let us once again ask the questions, and let us take a long, hard look into the answers."The irony and tragedy of modern times is that the more inescapable usury is perceived to be, the more inescapable will be our demise because of it." - p. 254We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
