And the KINGDOM of GOD
INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Equality
Equity
Justice
Freedom
WCIU VISION
For a verdant and flourishing
world, ripe with wholeness and
peace for all peoples.
If there is no beginning
there is no ending, so
there is no
development.
HE HOVERED OVER
CHAOS, AND FORMED…
The cycles of Hinduism do
not lead to development.
DEVELOPMENT THEORY
IS PART OF A
RATIONALISTIC
MODERNITY WHICH
BUILDS FROM CHRISTIAN
ROOTS
DEVELOPMENT
DEVELOPS FROM
THE
SCRIPTURES
…increasing GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
HISTORIC SECULAR DEFINITION OF
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
…making life better for all
HUMANIZED SECULAR DEFINITION OF DEVELOPMENT
THE DEBATE:
For all??? Egalitarian,
Equity, Equality
Or Benefitting the
Nation’s Wealthy?
An ideal??? Politicians
Platitudes?
Or Realism?
A Better Life?
What does a better life
look like???
DEBATABLE DEVELOPMENT
The Kingdom of God is the rule and
reign of God, for the redemption of
humanity and restoration of creation –
Dyrness
The Kingdom of God is the highest
good - Rauschenbusch.
Development is the extension of his
Kingdom in redemption of humanity
and restoration of creation.
Secular Development theory is a
reflection of the principles of the
Kingdom of God into societal
structures.
Kingdom &
Development
Development is a natural
belief of the enlightenment.
Rationality can change the
world for the better, utilizing
all the advances of science
and technology, democracy
and social organization,
rationalized ethics and
values.
Economic growth (GDP) may
produce development. Or it
may channel money to the
rich – a travesty for
developmentalist ethics.
Postmodernist Critiques of
Development
Growth? Or the conditions for
production and distribution that improve
the environment
and liberate humanity?
Human emancipation (Development as
Freedom – Sen).? Or increasing control
by ruling classes over human production
and freedoms?
Are modernity, reason, consumption
good?
Is development theory best in terms of
theory, but the worst in terms of
actuality?
Significant Books on
Theory and Theology of
Development
Historical Building Blocks
Weber, de Soto, Jacques Elul,
Rostow, Gunnar Myrdal
Traditional Societies is the only study I have
found that deals with the guilt, envy,
bitterness dynamics or poor societies.
Max Weber (1921) lays the basis for
understanding the necessity of developing
institutional frameworks
Issues for Nations with
Various Levels of Poverty
Some societies have collapsed
Some are breaking out
In The Bottom Billion, businesses
are encouraged to make money off
the poor
The future is flattened societies of
equality (Friedman)
The Rise and Fall of Urban
Economies
Theological Foundations
The Bible, Bryant Myers.
Development as Freedom -
this is not Biblically based but
reflects a Biblical theme),
Soul Self & Society reflects on
the missiological anthropology
of the development journey.
The Poverty of Nations
develops the Biblical theme of
sustainability
William Carey Publishers have
many journals on these topics.

560-11 International Development Definitions vs Biblical Visions of Futures

  • 1.
  • 2. And the KINGDOM of GOD INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT Equality Equity Justice Freedom
  • 3. WCIU VISION For a verdant and flourishing world, ripe with wholeness and peace for all peoples.
  • 4. If there is no beginning there is no ending, so there is no development. HE HOVERED OVER CHAOS, AND FORMED… The cycles of Hinduism do not lead to development. DEVELOPMENT THEORY IS PART OF A RATIONALISTIC MODERNITY WHICH BUILDS FROM CHRISTIAN ROOTS DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPS FROM THE SCRIPTURES
  • 5. …increasing GDP (Gross Domestic Product) HISTORIC SECULAR DEFINITION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT …making life better for all HUMANIZED SECULAR DEFINITION OF DEVELOPMENT THE DEBATE:
  • 6. For all??? Egalitarian, Equity, Equality Or Benefitting the Nation’s Wealthy? An ideal??? Politicians Platitudes? Or Realism? A Better Life? What does a better life look like??? DEBATABLE DEVELOPMENT
  • 7. The Kingdom of God is the rule and reign of God, for the redemption of humanity and restoration of creation – Dyrness The Kingdom of God is the highest good - Rauschenbusch. Development is the extension of his Kingdom in redemption of humanity and restoration of creation. Secular Development theory is a reflection of the principles of the Kingdom of God into societal structures. Kingdom & Development
  • 8. Development is a natural belief of the enlightenment. Rationality can change the world for the better, utilizing all the advances of science and technology, democracy and social organization, rationalized ethics and values. Economic growth (GDP) may produce development. Or it may channel money to the rich – a travesty for developmentalist ethics.
  • 9. Postmodernist Critiques of Development Growth? Or the conditions for production and distribution that improve the environment and liberate humanity? Human emancipation (Development as Freedom – Sen).? Or increasing control by ruling classes over human production and freedoms? Are modernity, reason, consumption good? Is development theory best in terms of theory, but the worst in terms of actuality?
  • 10. Significant Books on Theory and Theology of Development Historical Building Blocks Weber, de Soto, Jacques Elul, Rostow, Gunnar Myrdal Traditional Societies is the only study I have found that deals with the guilt, envy, bitterness dynamics or poor societies. Max Weber (1921) lays the basis for understanding the necessity of developing institutional frameworks
  • 11. Issues for Nations with Various Levels of Poverty Some societies have collapsed Some are breaking out In The Bottom Billion, businesses are encouraged to make money off the poor The future is flattened societies of equality (Friedman) The Rise and Fall of Urban Economies
  • 12. Theological Foundations The Bible, Bryant Myers. Development as Freedom - this is not Biblically based but reflects a Biblical theme), Soul Self & Society reflects on the missiological anthropology of the development journey. The Poverty of Nations develops the Biblical theme of sustainability William Carey Publishers have many journals on these topics.
