Religion and Development in Southern and Central Africa: Vol. 1
This book is a result of a joint conference, which was held from
18th-22nd July 2017 under the theme Religion, Citizenship and
Development – Southern African Perspectives.” The theme of the
conference was adopted in order to underline the importance and
significance of religion in the socio-economic development of people in
the world generally and in Southern and Central Africa in particular.
The papers in the book are divided into two volumes. Volume one consists
of papers which directly discuss religion and development in one form
or another. The second volume contains papers that discuss religion and
other pertinent issues related to development. The papers are grouped
into sub-themes for ease of reference. These include Citizenship and
Development, Migration and Development, Disability and Development,
Pentecostal Churches and Development and Religion and Society. All in
all, despite a divergence of sub-themes in volume two, all point to
issues to do with the role of religion in development in Southern and
Central Africa today.
