Passing The Plate
By: Chistian Smith and Michael O. Emerson
This book attempts to help solve a riddle: why is it that American Christians give away so relatively little of their money? Contemporary American Christians are among the wealthiest of their faith in the world today and probably the most affl uent single group of Christians in two thousand years of church history. They have a lot of money as we will see in chapter 1. Nearly all American Christians also belong to churches that teach believers, as stewards of the belongings with which God has blessed them, to give money generously for the work of God’s kingdom, as we will see in appendix A. Most Christians belong to churches that teach tithing the giving of 10 percent of one’s income. Most American Christians also profess to want to see the gospel preached in the world, the hungry fed, the church strengthened, and the poor raised to enjoy lives of dignity and hope all tasks that normally require money.
