The Unholy Tithe - Paperback

by Apostle Johanes Vegba (Author)

The Unholy Tithe looks at how tithing has become topical in the church in these latter days. The argument is that tithing was an Old Testament practice and is part of the law from which Jesus Christ freed Christians. Consequently, the view of some is that tithing has become anachronistic and should not be practiced in Christian Churches. The purpose of this book is, therefore, to look at the subject of tithes from the biblical perspective with the goal of establishing the mind of God for tithing among His people. The aim of the author is to resolve the conundrum of tithing, that had plagued the Church before the Council of Tours in the year 567 AD, and remained unresolved till date.

This Book looks at how tithing originated and how it became instituted as law in the nation of Israel and why. The conundrum facing Christianity with regards to the applicability or otherwise, of tithes to Christian churches, received an in-depth discussion. The ultimate question here is, does God deserve the tithe of Christians?
