Summary "A History of Tithes" by Rev. Henry William Clarke is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the concept and evolution of tithes, focusing on their significance within the Christian tradition, particularly in England. It critically examines the historical records and interpretations surrounding the payment of tithes, detailing how ecclesiastical practices and laws have evolved over time. At the start of the work, Clarke provides a preface that outlines his research methods and his reliance on previous scholars, such as John Selden, while noting areas of contention within their findings. He stresses the complexity and controversy surrounding the origins and imposition of tithes, addressing alleged inaccuracies in other authors’ interpretations of historical documents. The introduction sets the stage for a detailed examination of the historical roots of tithes, starting from biblical references before the Christian era and leading into their role in early Christian society, highlighting the tension between voluntary contributions and compulsory tithing as influenced by ecclesiastical authority.
