    About this ebook

    The tithe is among the most controversial issues in the African Christian circles today. There are widely varying definitions of tithe and its practices in the churches of Christ; most church leaders accuse non-tithe payers of robbing God in tithing while some Bible scholars claim that it is the church leaders who are robbing the people of God of their hard-earned money by demanding tithes from them.

    This book, Tithe and the African Churches, comes to our rescue. It gives us a comprehensive analysis of tithe and tithing from the perspective of the Holy Scriptures–It helps us see the real meaning, purpose, and temporal relevance of tithe as revealed in the Old Testament and the New Testament as well.

    It also tells us the real reasons while many prominent African Churches are under several verbal attacks by some prominent Bible scholars the world over and goes as far as proferring workable solutions to the seemingly unending religious controversies.

    As a matter of fact, this book puts an end to several disputations on the subject of tithe and tithing which seems to be shattering the superstructure of the African church practices.

    You don’t want to miss it for anything in the world!
