What role did the Bible, belief, or religion in general play in issues related to money in Early Modern Christianity? Whose view(s) were followed or rejected and which concepts, perceptions and practices were involved? What perspectives from the sides of of both Catholics and Reformed can be brought to light on the topic of money in Early Modern Christianity (ca. 1400-ca. 1700)?This volume contains 19 contributions based on lectures delivered at the international conference "Calvin, Capital and the Camel: Thoughts and Practices on Money in Early Modern Christianity", held in March of 2024 in Geneva. Famous names pass in review, such as Luis de Molina, François Fénelon, George Carleton, Thomas More, Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon. John Calvin's views on charging interest have an important place in these contributions. Included also is the first critical edition and translation of two letters documenting the exchange between John Calvin (Calvin's so called "legal brief") and Claude de Sachins on this theme.
