The Divine Economy: A Catholic Explanation of Tithing and Stewardship

by Brian G. Honsberger, Somina Mosaku (Illustrator), Arthur J. Serratelli (Introduction)

Overview

The Hebrew Scriptures mention at least three different types of tithing. Should Christians practice some, none, or all of these? Determining tithing's place in Christianity first requires an understanding of the role it played within the ancient Israelite macro economy. This understanding allows New Testament readers to follow the reasoning, attitudes, and practices of the first Christians, and equips 21st century Christians to prayerfully discern their financial decisions. Bishop Arthur J. Serratelli, S.T.D., S.S.L., D.D., states, "The author's expertise in interpreting biblical texts in their historical context provides a model for how to read the Sacred Scripture. The topic he treats in this book will never be outdated. Anyone from scholar to student interested in the Bible will find in this book a wealth of knowledge and a depth of understanding."
