What Does the Bible Say About Money?


Everyone seems to have something to say about money: how you should spend it, where you should invest it, how you can earn it. But how do you know who to believe?

It turns out, the most trustworthy source of all has a lot to say on the topic. God's Word is filled with passages on every aspect of money, from spending and borrowing to giving to the poor, saving up for tomorrow, and much more.

In this book every scriptural reference to money has been carefully collected and organized into useful categories. When necessary, brief but clear explanations are provided, using insights gathered from trustworthy commentaries.

Let the Bible's timeless truth about money help you make wise decisions today.

3.0 out of 5 stars References August 17, 2012

Before buying this book, understand that it is primarily a collection of verses which mention money. There are ten chapters and one appendix.
The ten chapters are:
1. It's Not Yours
2. Making Money
3. Content with What you have
4. Using your Money Wisely
5. Learning about Loans
6. Don't be Greedy
7. Giving Generously to Others
8. Tithing and Giving to God's Work
9. There's No Shame in Being Poor
10. You and Wealth

Each chapter contains brief comments, headings, and Bible verses.
The appendix is composed of short sections of sermons by Whitefield, Wesley and Spurgeon.

Positives: Having the verses in specific chapters and with headings makes it easy to find certain principles. Because the verse are printed out it makes it quicker to read than looking each one up (they are from different versions - apparently because some translations bring the point out in a better way).

Negatives: Don't buy this if you are looking for applications of principles. It is valuable for a reference because the Bible is authoritative. Just don't buy this thinking that it is something it is not.

Other options: If you appreciate this style of resources, I have greatly appreciated Dictionary of Bible Themes by Martin Manser.

So, there is a short synopsis in each section, followed by biblical passages. There isn't an explanation of each of the passages, just the section quoted. This isn't very helpful for me. I would have wanted at least a snippet of something like, "this verse is trying to convey blah, blah and blah." Not what I was expecting. I would not recommend.
