History of Tithing in Christianity

For centuries, tithing has been taught as an unquestionable doctrine. Yet its journey from Scripture to church practice tells a far more complicated story. This book traces the moment when faith intersected with the empire – and giving became law. Throughout the reign of Pope Leo III and Charlemagne, political authority reshaped biblical generosity into enforced obligation. Drawing from historical records and Scripture, the book challenges readers to reconsider what they have been taught and why.
