Serving Others

A Sociological, Ethical and Theological Reflection on Poverty, Diakonia, and Transformational Development

Drawing on think tank and economic statistics and the work of a prodigious list of writers, theologians, and researchers, Dr’s Koenig and Kamwendo, explore such topics as service, stewardship and solidarity, the limitations of government spending on social welfare programs and the relationship between poverty and education. While academic works like Serving Others are often preachy, dry and elliptical, the authors’ idiomatic prose makes for easy reading and never veers into sententiousness.
