Download or read book Religious Giving written by David H. Smith and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religious Giving considers the connection between religion and giving within the Abrahamic traditions. Each contributor begins with the assumption that there is something inherently right or natural about the connection. But what exactly is it? To whom should we give, how much should we give, what is the relationship between our giving and our relationship to God? Writing for the introspective donor, congregational leader, or student interested in ways of meeting human needs, the authors focus on the philosophical or theological dimensions of giving. The contributors' goal is not to report on institutional practices, but to provide thoughtful, constructive guidance to the reader -- informed by a critical understanding of the religious traditions under review.

Download or read book Why the Wealthy Give written by Francie Ostrower and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1997-04-02 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a series of candid personal interviews with nearly one hundred donors, Why the Wealthy Give offers an in-depth look at the world of elite philanthropy. Francie Ostrower focuses on the New York City area, with its high concentration of affluent donors, to explore both the motivations of individual donors and the significance of philanthropy for the culture and organization of elite groups. In so doing, she offers an account of why the wealthy give that also provides insight into the nature of elite culture, status, identity, and cohesion. Emphasizing the diversity of philanthropy, the book also shows how and why different types of donors support different causes. It further demonstrates how, in the face of considerable change, elite philanthropy has adapted and therefore endured. A timely discussion explores the ways in which elite donors view the respective roles of government and philanthropy. Why the Wealthy Give shows that elite philanthropy involves far more than writing a check. The wealthy take philanthropy and adapt it into an entire way of life that serves as a vehicle for the social and cultural life of their class. This is reflected in the widespread popularity of educational and cultural causes among donors. At the same time, Ostrower finds divergent patterns of giving that reflect alternative sources of donor identity, such as religion, ethnicity, and gender, and explains why certain kinds of donors are more or less likely to diverge from the prestige hierarchy of their class in their philanthropy.

Download or read book American Charities written by Amos Griswold Warner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Charities: A Study in Philanthropy and Economics The influence Of religion upon the benevolent instincts Of man can be studied in nearly all its phases in the history Of charities administered by the Christian church; and in that history can be traced the power of an accepted theology both to exalt and to degrade the charitable impulse. While the antiquarian may be able to point out many traces of active benevolence before the Christian era, while there is much genuine philan thropy outside Of Christianity, and while it may even be said that the church of the present day that administers its charities most wisely is not Christian at all, but J ew ish, -it yet remains true that charity, as we know it, gets its chief religious authority and incentive from Him who gave as the summary Of all the law and prophets the co-ordinate commands to love God and to love our neighbor, and who, in explaining these commands, pro nounced the parable Of the Good Samaritan. At first, Christianity brought to the world a purified and enno bled charity, a love of fellow men very different from the semi-selfish motives that prompted to prayer, pen ance, and almsgiving as means to a common end - that Of securing divine favor. The early diaconate seems to have been a satisfactory way Of organizing what is now called friendly Visiting.
