Scholarly text,
By A Customer
This review is from: On the Pilgrim's Way: Christian Stewardship and the Tithe (Paperback)
A scholarly study of the history and modern meaning of the tithe. It includes a detailed scriptural study of Hebrew and Christian giving. It concludes with endorsing a "Pauline" model of the tithe which is more flexible and less dogmatic than the "Old Testament" version often promoted today. It ends with a case study to provide an example of how to apply these learnings.
