If you're thinking all you need to do is to plug "money" into your concordance and see what pops up, put it out of your mind. The Bible uses so many different terms to talk about these issues that you can't search for them using a concordance. There's no substitute for actually reading the book, verse by verse, and searching with an open mind and heart for those scriptures that deal with money, finances, generosity, rich people, poor people, and our duty toward those in need.
You can find lots of lists of scriptural references to money on the Internet, but they all tend to be references to the same handful of verses, or they tend to reflect someone's point of view. Our focus in the Serendipity New Testament Money Project is to compile every scriptural reference to money or financial issues in the New Testament, missing nothing, and with no particular theological or liturgical axe to grind.
As you can see from the scriptures already here, you don't need to say a lot about each scripture. Just list the scripture by book, chapter, and verse, and include a brief explanation why it's relevant to money issues. Because there's no agenda here or point we're trying to make, please do not include any commentary.
It doesn't matter how you present your work; we can handle any form you use. If you finish your assigned book and are ready to take on another one, just sign up for it by editing this page, or let Lee know.
If you're concerned about the use of your name, please know that we will remove all names when our project is complete. At that time it will simply be available on the Internet as the work of the Serendipity Class.
