Paul & Money : A Biblical and Theological analysis of the Apostle's teachings and practices
Outline : A thorough investigation of the Apostle Paul's sayings and dealing with money. Beginning with the apostle himself, Paul and Money first explores what Paul had to say about supporting himself as a missionary and whether, and in what context, it was appropriate to ask for money from those to whom he was ministering. A significant part of the book examines the collection that Paul initiated for the poverty-stricken Christians in Jerusalem, looking at how Paul raised funds for this key project and why he had undertaken it in the first place. Lastly, the authors probe other monetary issues in Paul's letters, including the problems of the Thessalonian freeloaders; Paul's message to the rich and his instructions on how the church should minister to the poor; and a few words about paying taxes, going into debt, and the issue of tithing. the book closes with a number of practical implications for Christians today.
