Overview

Faith-based finance presents a unique approach to financial systems by aligning economic practices with religious values and ethical principles. As global interest in ethical and sustainable finance grows, exploring the common financial teachings of the Abrahamic religions offers a compelling opportunity for innovation and cooperation across religious and cultural lines. By drawing on shared values such as fairness, social justice, and responsible stewardship, this approach has the potential to shape financial norms and expand across to inclusive economic systems. A unified framework rooted in the principles of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam could foster greater interfaith understanding while contributing to the development of more equitable and morally grounded financial institutions. Legal and Regulatory Aspects of Abrahamic Finance explores the legality and regulatory aspects of Abrahamic finance. This book uses methods of interreligious dialogue that facilitate cooperation between different faiths. Covering topics such as religion, finance, and faith-based practices, this book is an excellent resource for professors, academics, government officials, economists, finance professionals, and more.
