文摘

Diagnoses causes of the difficult relationship between missionaries and development. Reviews 48 sources proposing and critiquing typologies of faith-based organizations (FBOs). Finds that FBO typologies are based on outdated assumptions separating religious and secular actors. Proposes a framework to analyze links between beliefs and practices of development for all religious and secular actors.
