Perspectives on Tithing is an engaging journey on the various views on Christian giving in light of the New Testament. Croteau (post-tithing) and Eklund/Hemphill (joyful tithing) make the best arguments for their views. Reggie Kidd's argument is, unfortunately, largely incoherent and the main idea of his view is difficult to ascertain. Gary North (tithe no more or less than 10% of net income) presents his view very well, but does not spend much time arguing his case from Scripture insomuch as makes assertions.
The book also contains a helpful summary of the history of theologians' views on tithing throughout the history of the church, which demonstrates that there really has never been a unified view.
Perspectives on Tithing is helpful, not so much in creating convictions, but in getting the theological mind thinking in the right direction.
Rating: 4/5 Stars (I really liked it)
