This book gives an in-depth analysis of the role of faith in the
work of Tearfund, a leading evangelical relief and development NGO
that works in over 50 countries worldwide. The study traces the
changing ways that faith has shaped and influenced Tearfund's work
over the organisation's 50-year history. It shows how Tearfund has
consciously grappled with the role of faith in its work and has
invested considerable time and energy in developing an
intentionally faith-based approach t relief and development that in
several ways is quite different to the approaches of secular relief
and development NGOs. The book charts the different perspectives
and possibilities that were not taken and the internal discussions
about theology, development practices, and humanitarian standards
that took place as Tearfund worked out for itself what it meant to
be a faith-based relief and development organisation. There is a
growing academic literature about religion and development, as well
as increasing interest from development ministries of many Northern
governments in understanding the role of religion in development
and the specific challenges and benefits involved in working with
faith-based organisations. However, there are very few studies of
actual faith-based organisations and no book-length detailed
studies showing how such an organisation operates in practice and
how it integrates its faith into its work. In documenting the story
of Tearfund, the book provides important insights into the practice
and ethos of faith-based organisations, which will be of interest
to other FBOs and to researchers of religion and development.
