Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the moral imperative of charity as viewed through the lens of scripture. The author examines customary approaches to charitable giving and suggests adjusting our focus from meeting immediate material needs to additionally giving aid in a way that helps the impoverished achieve lasting self-sufficiency. This book draws from both the old and new testaments, examining charity as it was practiced and understood in each, and discusses its importance to adherents of Christianity. The author argues that true charity not only mitigates present suffering but also aims to address the root causes of poverty, suggesting ways to teach the impoverished useful skills and trades and encouraging an environment in which they may find meaningful employment. Addressing this topic from a historical and religious perspective, the author reveals the depth to which such acts better the lives of those in need, as well as the giver, and why it remains such a central tenet of modern religious practice.
