Synopsis

The Tithe in Scripture offers a clear, foundational look at giving in the Bible and its practical meaning for today.

This scholarly work traces tithe-paying from patriarchal times through the Mosaic law and into the New Testament, highlighting how biblical teachings about giving shaped early Christian practice and ongoing religious stewardship. It presents a balanced, accessible view of how tithes and offerings were understood, collected, and applied by Jews and early Christians alike.

• Explore how ancient offerings evolved into Torah commands and how Jesus and the apostles treated tithing and generosity.
• Learn how the biblical record frames giving as a core moral practice, beyond strict legal requirements.
• See the connections between Old Testament tithes, temple practices, and early Christian charity.
• Discover key examples and arguments that illuminate the spiritual principles of giving.
