The work explores the historical and scriptural basis for tithing, emphasizing the importance of dedicating a portion of one's income to religious purposes. The author critiques contemporary Church finance practices, arguing that the proper understanding of tithing could enhance the Church's ability to spread its message and support its missions. The opening of the work begins with a preface where Stewart acknowledges the complexity of the topic of tithing and indicates that his focus will not be an exhaustive historical account. He engages with theological education, attributing a significant part of the blame for inadequate Church financing to the teachings at theological seminaries. Furthermore, he outlines a comprehensive approach to understanding the responsibility of Christians regarding their financial contributions, urging that a more structured practice of tithing could greatly enhance the Church's mission, provided that its principles are clearly articulated and followed by both ministers and laity.
