The issue of tithing is a critical issue amongst believers. The first tithe payer in the Bible was Abraham. In Genesis 14:18-20, the scriptures says, "Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the Priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: "Blessed be Abram of the Most High, Possessor of Heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand". And he (Abraham) gave him (Melchizedek) tithe of all." The tithe was paid from the goods he gathered after the defeat of the four kings led by Chedorlaomer, king of Elam. This first recorded tithe payment was hundreds of years before Moses was born and by extension before the Law was given through Moses. From this we know that tithing Pre-dates the Law.

In a consumer society mostly based on capitalistic economic principles, Biblical Economics can easily take backstage, or seem obsolete altogether. Yet, according to Scriptures, Biblical Economics predates our global economy. The author is a theologian and not an economist. He carefully approaches this sensitive, yet vital topic, as seen in the Word of God. Dispelling popular beliefs and understandings, he carefully dissects divine principles, with an underlying message - a devotional relationship with Jesus. Thus, this book is intended to bring us back to the heart of Biblical Economics, which is all about a devotional relationship with God - not rewards.

The phenomenal expansion of Christianity in China in recent years has attracted much scholarly and public attention. As the country continues to deepen its linkages with the rest of the world, Chinese Christian networks are spreading both within and outside the country. These networks link and crisscross at multiple scales and localities in China while strengthening interactions with overseas Chinese Christians and global Christianity. Many Christian groups throughout the country are harnessing the tremendous potential of new media, such as the internet and mobile apps, to share religious messages, participate in rituals, access information, create online communities, and to evangelize. Chinese Christians have also begun exerting their influence outside China through activities such proselytism, charity work, and development projects. This volume presents cutting edge research by scholars working in the field of Christianity in China, providing valuable insights into how Chinese Christianity is evolving and how it is shaping the country and beyond.
