The Scriptural Tithe by Dr. Barndollar is one of the best defenses of tithing published over the last 100+ years. This 370 page defense was Barndollar's dissertation for a Doctor of Theology (Th.D.) degree from Grace Theological Seminary in May 1959. You can download the updated PDF here:
You can find the original dissertation published by Grace Seminary here but it has an error with a duplicate section.
https://grace.hykucommons.org/ Dr. Barndollar's contribution to the study of tithe is the strong arguments and exegesis of Genesis 26:5, 1 Corinthians 9:13-14 and Hebrews 7:8. The weakness of his paper is the poor exegesis of Hebrews 7:6 and confusing claims about the relationship between law, grace, and Abraham's obedience to the "legalistic" language of Genesis 26:5. Overall, an excellent resource.

From 1947-1961 (some accounts say he retired 1968, 1969) Dr. Barndollar was a teacher for Bible Baptist Seminary in Johnson City, N.Y. Bible Baptist changed it's name to Clarks Summit University in 2015/2016. One of the residential halls at Clark's Summit is named after Barndollar: “Dr. W. Walker Barndollar joined the Clarks Summit University faculty in 1947, teaching subjects such as systematic theology, apologetics and eschatology. Throughout his time at Clarks Summit University, he served as chairman of Division I (theology, Bible and apologetics), chairman of Division II (language and literature) and director of the Bible Studies Division. He retired in 1969, after 21 years of faithful service” https://www.clarkssummitu.edu/life-at-csu/residential-life/ https://www.clarkssummitu.edu/about-csu/history/ Comments are closed.
