The Crossroads of Religion and Development
ISBN-13: 9783844314977 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 96 str.
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.
