  • Semi-Technical
  • Andreas J. Köstenberger, David A. Croteau

This article address the question whether tithing, that is, giving ten percent of one’s income, is obligatory for Christians. This is the first in a series of two articles investigating this question by studying all references to tithing in Scripture.
