The Clergyman's Pretense Of Divine Right To Tithes, Examined And Refuted (1703)

By John Gratton

Book Overview

The book ""The Clergyman's Pretense Of Divine Right To Tithes, Examined And Refuted"" was written by John Gratton in 1703. The book is a critical examination of the claim made by clergymen that they have a divine right to receive tithes from their congregations. Gratton argues that this claim is not supported by scripture and that it is instead a man-made tradition that has been used to justify the accumulation of wealth and power by the clergy. The book provides a detailed analysis of the historical and theological basis for the claim of divine right to tithes and presents a compelling case for why this claim is unfounded. It also offers alternative perspectives on the role of the clergy in society and how they should be supported. Overall, ""The Clergyman's Pretense Of Divine Right To Tithes, Examined And Refuted"" is a thought-provoking and insightful critique of a long-standing tradition in the Christian church.Being A Full Answer To W.
