Money and Salvation
An interview with Dr. Andrew Geleris, author of Money and Salvation - An Invitation to the Good Way, explores the biblical foundation of almsgiving, tithing, and whole burnt offerings. He also challenges the typical ministry-centric approach to parish fundraising and suggests a soul-centric approach.
What does money have to do with salvation?
Isn't the whole-burnt offering an archaic, wasteful practice?
Can tithing be understood as a Church tax?
Isn't almsgiving simply giving a few spare coins to one in need?
Shouldn't parish fundraising use a ministry-centric approach?
An interview with Dr. Andrew Geleris, author of the forthcoming book Money and Salvation: An Invitation to the Good Way, challenges many of these notions after his study of Scripture challenged him.
