Tithing is one of the most enduring practices in Christian life, yet its its origins, development, and purpose are often misunderstood. The Absolute Truth About Tithing offers a clear and thoughtful exploration of this important topic by examining it through three essential lenses: the historical customs of the ancient world, the biblical narrative itself, and the traditions of the Christian church.
Drawing carefully from the King James Version and the New King James Version, this study traces the concept of the tithe from its earliest appearance in ancient Near Eastern cultures to its role in the life of Israel under the Law. It explains the three biblical tithes, their function within the covenant community, and their connection to justice and care for the poor.
The book also explores the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, highlighting how giving was practiced in the early church. The discussion then turns to showing how church tradition shaped the modern understanding of tithing. By presenting documented historical developments alongside biblical teaching, this book allows readers to see the full picture with clarity and balance.
