The evolving Christian views on usury and finance

Throughout history, Christian views on usury and finance have shifted. In the past, usury, or the charging of high interest rates on loans, was considered sinful and prohibited by the church. However, over time, the interpretation of usury has evolved, with many Christian denominations allowing for reasonable interest rates on loans.

Scripture reference: “Do not take interest or any profit from them, but fear your God, so that your countryman may live among you.” – Leviticus 25:36
