Judaism, Christianity and Islam all impose obligations and
constraints upon the rightful use of wealth and earthly resources. All three of
these religions have well-researched views on the acceptability of practices
such as usury but the principles and practices of other, non-interest,
financial instruments are less well known. This book examines each of these
three major world faiths, considering their teachings, social precepts and
economic frameworks, which are set out as a guide for the financial dealings
and economic behaviour of their adherents.
Religion and Finance explores the histories,
denominational compositions and fundamental beliefs of each of the three
religions and examines a host of key issues surrounding their relationship to
finance. Consideration is given to the development of generally disfavoured
practices such as usury, and the various instruments of sales-based debt,
partnerships and equity-based financial practices allowed by these religions
are examined, alongside a discussion of their socio-economic teachings and
traditions.
