In “Pope Leo III, Charlemagne and the Tithe: The Code of Silence,” Jonathan Kithcart provides an authoritative examination of tithing, uncovering its heretical origins and divergence from biblical teaching. Through meticulous research into church history, he traces the practice back to the crowning of Charlemagne by Pope Leo III in 800 AD, revealing a long-standing tradition that misrepresents the apostolic message.
Kithcart's work stands out in the Christian literary scene for its fearless engagement with church history, offering readers both scholarly insight and practical spiritual guidance. He emphasizes grace-based giving over mandated percentages, challenging the “Code of Silence” that has shielded tithing practices from critical examination for centuries.
Written for believers seeking a deeper, scripture-centered understanding of generosity, “Pope Leo III, Charlemagne and the Tithe” weaves historical narrative, biblical exegesis, and thoughtful commentary. The result is a compelling invitation to move beyond legalism and toward giving that flows freely from faith and conviction.
This work builds on themes Kithcart has explored in earlier writings, including “Paul: A Wise Master Builder Without the Tithe.” As a result, this latest work further solidifies his voice as a challenger of doctrinal assumptions surrounding church finances.
Published by ReadersMagnet, “Pope Leo III, Charlemagne and the Tithe: The Code of Silence” stands as a significant contribution to contemporary Christian discourse. It is one that educates, provokes reflection, and encourages believers to weigh tradition against scripture with renewed discernment. For readers and scholars alike, the book is a vital addition to any library of Christian literature that values truth and informed faith.
