Excellent!!, 2007-07-16
I have read a whole assortment of books and writings about tithing but this book lays out the case for no tithing requirements for New Testament Christians like no other.

The writing, while strong and pointed at times, still makes a case for a proper understanding of our relationship to Christ and the Law of Moses.

This is not coffee table reading. Be prepared to read and read again.

The author also takes delightful side trails using other Christian subjects like spiritual warfare to make a case for studying scripture for yourself. And the side trails surprisingly do not detract from the book.

The author always ties the side trails in with the main subject of the book--tithing and the issue of whether or not we as Christians are under this Old testament requirement or are indeed free in Him.

Probably the BEST book available right now for its insightful conclusions--and the depth and breadth of its coverage is unparalleled in this timely subject area which has become for today's church what circumcision was to the New Testament church.

The only area where I disagreed with the author is on his take of 2 Cor 9:7 where it states that "God loves a cheerful giver".

Wells states that in the original Greek the word order is such that it should read "A cheerful giver loves God." Unfortunately, the author is not a Greek scholar or is not well versed in Greek because if he were he would not have made such a foolish statement.

While it is true that the word order in the original Greek is similar to what the author states, it DOES NOT mean anything other than "God loves a cheerful giver" because Greek being a highly inflected language can place words in almost any order and the meaning will still be the same. In this instance, "God" is the subject by virtue of its Nominative singular masculine form (with the definite article) and the word for "giver" is in the accusative meaning it takes the action of the main verb thus, it means what we have heard and NOT what the author claims to have found!

Other than this I suggest that you get the book now!
