Reviews
Comprehensive, clear and cutting-edge, this volume offers the first truly global survey of the intertwining of religions with development. All the contributions are authoritative, up-to-date and firmly rooted in command of theoretical ideas and case studies. It should be essential reading for researchers, policy makers and practitioners concerned with development. -James A. Beckford, University of Warwick, UK This new Handbook is the first to present an extensive overview of an important emerging subject - religion in development. Combining an interdisciplinary approach with case studies from all parts of the world, this volume makes a unique contribution to our scholarly knowledge. I recommend it to academics and practitioners alike. -Gerrie ter Haar, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands This book represents a remarkable achievement. It not only offers a wide and comprehensive introduction to religion and development in theory and practice, it also propels the study of religion into a more truly global frame of reference. It will be read with great profit by students, academics, practitioners and policymakers alike. -Linda Woodhead, Lancaster University, UKã A valuable and comprehensive overview of what has become a mature field of study. Twenty-nine carefully researched chapters demonstrate that religion can no longer be pushed to the margins in analyses of economic development. The case studies in this volume will define the field and inspire future research. -Erica Bornstein, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA ã
