Reviews

This is an important study on the role of Catholic religious organizations in development, where until now there has been a lack of systematic research. [...] Surely all programs for cross-cultural missioners [...] could make use of this pioneering study. More generally, this volume should make the reading lists of courses in socio-economic development at institutes of higher education. - John Mansford Prior, Mission Studies Well constructed and clearly written, this study opens up new dimensions of documentation and analysis which, within recognized limits, could be extended to the action of other churches as well as non-Christian religious organizations. (Bien construite et clairement redigee, cette etude ouvre de nouvelles dimensions de documentation et d'analyse qui, dans les limites reconnues, pourraient etre etendues a l'action d'autres Eglises ainsi que d'organisations religieuses non chretiennes) - J. Scheuer, Nouvelle Revue Theologique
