Bribery and the Bible

Author:Richard L. Langston

Summary:Dr. Langston explores the age-old problem of bribery. Both the Old and New Testaments are examined to discover a biblical perspective on extortion and various types of bribes. Questions are suggested to evaluate whether a particular practice is actually a bribe in the biblical sense. Dr. Langston explores the development and practice of bribery in the Philippines and cultural values which contribute to a tolerance of bribery. He also suggests ways national Christians and missionaries can deal with this issue
