| Sumario: | "This book is a product of a convergence of the diverse areas of law, international development and the integral mission of the Christian church. As a lawyer, academic and consultant in international development, I have had the opportunity to work extensively in the areas of governance, law and anti-corruption. I know, in theory and practice, the focuses, methods and tools that international development organizations use to fight corruption. I have seen at firsthand and endured the limitations of the mainstream approaches to combat corruption. Complementing this, my experience in global missions has allowed me to affirm, understand and appreciate the responsibility and great potential of the Christian church - as a community of believers - to be an agent of social transformation. I also fully recognize that we, as communities of believers, are falling short in modelling public integrity and playing an active protagonist role in the fight against corruption. This book will hopefully help believers and the church to reflect on, awaken to and engage with the profound injustice of corruption."--Publisher |
