This themed edition of St Mark’s Review reflects on issues arising from the interplay between the increasingly scheduler realm of development and global aid with Christianity. The papers consider Christian contributions to the contested space of poverty alleviation and human well-being. While acknowledging the complex interaction between faith and aid and development initiatives, a common theme emerges in this edition: that Christian theology, community, and praxis offer vital resources to supplement and challenge existing paradigms.
