The Truth About Tithing

About this book
Must Christians give ten percent, or does the New Testament call believers to a different pattern of generosity?
This biblical, historical, and pastoral study traces tithing from Abraham and Jacob through Israel’s covenant law, the prophets, Jesus, the apostolic church, and early Christianity. It distinguishes the multiple agricultural tithes of ancient Israel from modern church fundraising and examines Malachi, Hebrews, Paul’s teaching, ministerial support, prosperity preaching, and financial manipulation.
The result is a constructive model of Christian giving that is willing, proportional, generous, compassionate, and accountable rather than driven by fear, curses, or promises of guaranteed wealth.
The book does not argue against giving or the fair support of genuine ministers. Instead, it challenges coercive teaching and invites churches to practice grace-shaped generosity with financial transparency. It includes reflection questions, frequently misused Bible passages, an eight-session study guide, and a model church financial-integrity policy.
