Through its discussion of the biblical lesson of God's rejection of Cain's offering, "More Than The Gift" challenges readers to reexamine their perspective on Christian giving and to consider the proposition that Christian giving always has been about much more than the gift itself.

The stimulus for the book came from a conference organized by the John Ray Initiative (JRI) to explore 'the Christian approach to the environment'. A clear conclusion was the need to explore and characterize 'stewardship'. This is a concept widely used by environmentalists and one which has clear biblical roots, but it is repeatedly criticized (even condemned) by those who regard any management of nature as either impious or impractical, and by others who believe it is inadequate or misleading. Five key contributions form the core of this book: a context-establishing introduction by R.J....

This book addresses the principles of Christian stewardship and its importance to the faith community, examines giving statistics, looks at hindrances to giving, and explores ways in which churches and faith-based...
