Was the tithe just for Israel, or is it also applicable to Christians? Must a tithe go only to your local church, or can it be received by any Christian organization? Do we tithe on the net or the gross amount?
Perspectives on Tithing presents in point-counterpoint format the most common views about how Christians are to give of their financial resources, addressing the myriad of questions that surround the complex issue. Ken Hemphill (Empowering Kingdom Growth) and Bobby Eklund (Eklund Stewardship Ministries) contribute The Foundations of Giving while the book's editor, David A. Croteau (Liberty University), writes The Post-Tithing View: Giving in the New Covenant. A chapter by Reggie Kidd (Reformed Theological Seminary) is called Tithing in the New Covenant? 'Yes' as Principle, 'No' as Casuistry. Finally, Gary North (Institute for Christian Economics) looks directly at The Covenantal Tithe, and Scott Preissler (Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) provides the epilogue.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

paperback. Etat : Like New. Should Christians tithe 10% today?or is that an Old Covenant rule that no longer binds the church? Few topics mix Scripture, Sunday-morning practice, and household budgets as tightly as this one. This compact volume does not pick a winner. Instead it puts the four most common evangelical answers on the same table so you can weigh them yourself.Ken Hemphill and Bobby Eklund argue that a 10% baseline is still the New Covenant norm. Editor David A. Croteau (often praised as the most careful exegete in the book) contends that the Mosaic tithe laws are fulfilled and that Christians give by grace, not by percentage. Reggie Kidd treats tithing as a useful principle rather than a legal requirement. Gary North insists the covenantal tithe remains obligatory and belongs to the local congregation. Each essay is followed by responses from the other contributors, so the arguments clash in real time.Ideal for pastors, church treasurers, small-group leaders, and anyone tired of slogans. 193 pages. Glossy illustrated paperback. Light shelf wear only; pages crisp, clean, and unmarked; binding square and tight. Full refund if not satisfied. N° de réf. du vendeur 081636
