Why One Scholar Says the Tithe Isn't for Today with Dr. Tom Schreiner || The Downline Podcast

Is the 10% tithe (the practice of giving 10% of one's income) a biblical command today? Dr. Tom Schreiner makes the case that it's not; and shares his understanding of what the New Testament teaches about giving.

Tom also tackles tough practical questions: Should you give to parachurch organizations over your local church? What if you don't trust how your church uses money? Can you face church discipline for not giving?

Dr. Tom Schreiner is Professor of New Testament at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and author of numerous commentaries and books on biblical theology.
