The Tithe Question: A Biblical Journey From Obligation to Generous Worship - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

The Tithe Question: A Biblical Journey From Obligation to Generous Worship is a 2026 Christian theological book authored by Dr. Tim W. Gould. Across 22 chapters ("Journeys") divided into two major parts, the author examines the concept of tithing and biblical generosity by placing Scripture passages in their proper covenantal context.

In Part 1 ("God Gives First"), Gould explores Old Testament accounts-including Abraham's response to Melchizedek, Jacob's vow, the Mosaic Law, and Malachi-arguing that God always initiates grace before calling His people to respond. He highlights how the covenant tithe under the Law was specifically agricultural produce and livestock designed to support the Levites and care for those in need.

In Part 2 ("We Respond in Grace"), Gould transitions to the New Covenant established by Christ's death and resurrection. Examining the teachings of Jesus, the early church in Acts, and the epistles of Paul, the book asserts that New Testament giving is not driven by fear, legalistic obligation, or mandatory minimum percentages. Instead, it advocates for "grace giving"-intentional, joyful, and open-hearted generosity that supports spiritual leaders and gospel ministry out of gratitude for God's ultimate gift of Jesus Christ.
