This title offers a constructive appraisal of the relationship
between secular development and Christian mission, demonstrating
the opportunities and problems associated with the work of
faith-based organisations. This book considers the implications,
consequences, opportunities and constraints faced when mission and
development endeavours coincide. This is explored from various
perspectives, including that of history, theology and those
involved in mission work and missionary organizations. Despite
eighty percent of the world's population professing religious
belief, religion has been largely excluded from consideration of
those seeking to aid development in poorer countries. Moreover, the
work of missionaries has often involved the provision of basic
welfare services that in many parts of the world predate the
interventions undertaken by 'professional' secular aid workers. Are
missionaries doing development work or is development a critical
aspect of mission?
