Religion and Poverty : Monotheistic Responses Around the Globe, Paperback / softback Book

Religion and Poverty : Monotheistic Responses Around the Globe Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This book offers a timely and compelling look at religion and poverty, focusing primarily on the two largest world religions, Christianity and Islam, and considering religion and poverty in the United States and international contexts. Written by social scientists, the book incorporates relevant theology with a focus on how theology is lived in relation to issues of poverty.

Topics include religion as it relates to social service provision, lived religion, philanthropy, faith-based social movements, public policy, and more.

This volume synthesizes existing research on religion and poverty and includes new original research. It is an essential resource for upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses focused on religion and poverty and is also an outstanding supplementary text for broader courses in religion, poverty, social welfare, philanthropy, and non-profit organizations.
