Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Wikipedia's article on the tithe across religious traditions, the lower tier reflecting a crowd sourced, continuously edited encyclopedia entry rather than a peer reviewed or institutional source. It is useful here for a well referenced general summary of the practice across Judaism, Christianity and other traditions, and is cited for corroborated factual detail rather than for interpretation.
Notes
Wikipedia's article on the tithe, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for its survey of which denominations require, expect or merely encourage tithing today, and for England's Tithe Commutation Act 1836 and Tithe Act 1951, which replaced and then abolished compulsory church tithes, standard reference facts. Its note that LDS tithing is a condition of a temple recommend is used only as a public, publicly documented membership requirement; nothing about the temple endowment or sealing themselves is drawn from or written against this source.
