Dewi Hughes' conviction is that the suffering through poverty of
such a vast number of people in our day is overwhelmingly the
result of the misuse of power by others. Hence, the underlying
theme of this wide-ranging, challenging study is that poverty has
to do with the way in which we human beings use and abuse the power
God gave us when he created us.
In most people's minds "ethnic" or "ethnicity" are terms associated
with conflict, cleansing, or even genocide. This book
explores--from three perspectives--the significance of ethnic
communities beyond these popular conceptions. The first perspective
is the reality of the author's own experience as a member of the
Welsh ethnic identity. The Welsh are a small people whose whole
existence has been overshadowed by the more powerful English. This
is the "margin" from which the author speaks. The second
perspective is the Bible and evangelical mission and the third is
the unprecedented movement and mixing of ethnic identities in our
globalizing world. The book ends with the section on ethnicity in
the Lausanne Commitment that, hopefully, marks the beginning of
serious consideration by the evangelical missions community of this
issue that deeply impacts the lives of many millions.
Author and theologian Dewi Arwel Hughes's conviction is that the
suffering, through poverty, of such a vast number of people in our
day is overwhelmingly the result of the misuse of power by others.
In this wide-ranging, challenging book he unpacks a convicting
thesis: that poverty has to do with the way in which we human
beings use and abuse the power God gave us when he created us.
Hughes challenges you to reconsider your assumptions regarding
power, poverty and Christian identity, and he provides biblical
perspectives to enable you to both understand the causes of poverty
and help in overcoming it.
