Dr. Russell James' second book in The Biblical Fundraiser Series, The Biblical Fundraiser in Ancient Words, focuses on 1 Timothy 6:17-19. Dr. James argues that this passage is one of the few Biblical scriptures directed -- not to donors -- but to fundraisers. He begins by reframing major gift fundraising as scriptural ministry to wealthy Christians rather than a worldly quest for cash. The book contrasts "biblical" fundraising with "ordinary" fundraising, where the biblical fundraiser is the authorized messenger (the parangelle). The parangelle comes alongside wealthy believers to deliver a God-given message about generosity, whereas ordinary fundraising begs, attacks, or avoids the rich. This book describes how Scripture guides the fundraiser in ministering to the wealthy, not just in extracting money.
