Book Synopsis
The prohibition against lending on interest (Exodus 22:24) is a well-known biblical law. This prohibition was intended to prevent the wealthy from exploiting the unfortunate. Jewish law has over the centuries relaxed this biblical injunction. Hillel Gamoran seeks to explain how and when this law of high moral standing collapsed and fell over the course of the centuries.
