| 520 | _aMelba Padilla Maggay is an anthropologist who unapologetically interposes the religious lens into her critical examination of contemporary social and economic systems. The result is a stunning study that casts new light on the old issues of poverty, inequality, and underdevelopment in a globalized world. Drawing from case studies of Protestant evangelical organizations engaged in various projects of popular empowerment, as well as from her own rich personal reflections, she weaves a compelling narrative of the contradictions, limits, and possibilities of different modes of interventions in the uplift and emancipation of the poor. In the process, she advances an eloquent case for spirituality as the quest for infinite meaning in a world overrun by sectarian strife, consumerist excess, despair, loneliness, and cynicism, This is a unique book on the theory and practice of solidarity that academics, social activists, development agencies, and religious congregations alike will find immensely relevant to their work. | ||
