Theologies of Development
Theologies of Development: Faith, Holism, and Lifestyle Evangelism
Erica Bornstein, The Spirit of Development: Protestant NGOs, Morality, and Economics in Zimbabwe, Routledge, 2003.
“I document how faith was lived and critically theorized in terms of these concepts by employees of the two NGOs. My analysis focuses on faith at rural project sites where evangelism appeared as a unifying and hopeful social force, and faith in NGO offices where it disciplined, at times with divisive effects, the personal and institutional conduct of life.” (p. 45)
