The Crossroads of Religion and Development

Производитель: "LAP Lambert Academic Publishing"

This book explores how a group of evangelical Christians aided the Guatemalan army``s counterinsurgency campaign logistically, financially, and theologically in the highlands of Guatemala in 1982 and 1983. It explains how the military government of General Jose Efrain Rios Montt turned to evangelical Christianity to buttress anti- communist and neoliberal development programs in one particular highland area, the Ixil Region. The book also sheds light on why U. S and Guatemalan evangelical missionaries willfully supported a right- wing dictatorship, embracing their role as `spiritual soldiers` and legitimizing the Guatemalan army through theological teachings and relief work.
