In the wake of a sobering global recession, many Christians realize they need to rethink their approach to mnoney. Here respected New Testament scholar Ben Withrington III explores what the Bible does-and doesn`t-say about money. He clarly and concisely examines what Jesus and his earliest followers taught about wealth and poverty, money and debt, and tithing and sacrificial giving to help readers understand the proper role of money in modern Christian life. Along the way, he critiques the faith promise and health-and-wealth approaches to these issues, showing what good stewardship of God`s possessions truly looks like. Everyone concerned about making sense of money in a world of economic uncertainty will value this book.
