introduction
This paper will explore the concept, practice and theological foundation for tithing in the writings of Ellen G. White. Historical details will enter the discussion when necessary, but the primary focus will be at the conceptual and pragmatic levels. Her writings reveal growth in her understanding of the subject of tithe, but hardly any significant change in her views.1 We do not find an explicit theology of tithing, developed in a systematic form, but rather concepts that she associates with it and that provide for us a window to explore the theological aspects that informed her views and the counsel she gave to the church. It is obvious that the biblical materials dealing with the importance and use of tithe have been the primary influence on her understanding of tithing.
