Book Synopsis Religious Giving by : David H. Smith

Download or read book Religious Giving written by David H. Smith and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religious Giving considers the connection between religion and giving within the Abrahamic traditions. Each contributor begins with the assumption that there is something inherently right or natural about the connection. But what exactly is it? To whom should we give, how much should we give, what is the relationship between our giving and our relationship to God? Writing for the introspective donor, congregational leader, or student interested in ways of meeting human needs, the authors focus on the philosophical or theological dimensions of giving. The contributors' goal is not to report on institutional practices, but to provide thoughtful, constructive guidance to the reader -- informed by a critical understanding of the religious traditions under review.
