Description
Summary:The critical distinction between a transformational development project and a transformational development process is explored and clarified through a case study from a Muslim village in eastern Macedonia, begun in 1998 and continuing to the present. Using Bruce Bradshaw's six evaluative assumptions (creational harmony, divine corporate covenant, positive attitude toward Christian converts, decisions to become Christian, Christian contextualization at the cultural level, and community shalom) and metric, and Timothy Keller's hermeneutic of biblical justice tzadeqah and mishpat, Shaw substantiates the essential link between project and process, negating the notion of a stand-alone transformational development project.
