Entrepreneurship: An Imperative Tool for Urban Missions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783639086201)

John Maloma recognizes the need to establish a biblically sound concept of entrepreneurship and determine whether this concept(entrepreneurship) rather than welfare projects can assist the church in her mission to reach our modern cities' communities. The book does so by going deeper into examining literature on biblical, theological and socio-economic perspectives on entrepreneurship and missions.In order to deepen our understanding about the subject matter, the investigation touches on key relevant concepts that impact directly on it, namely; theological and ethical mandate for stewardship, some relevant biblical passages and cases, theological perspectives about cities, the position and contribution of few selected authors on poverty and the poor, the concept of unemployment, transformational development and entrepreneurship.The book is also aimed at creating awareness amongst the churches and church leaders about the growing levels of poverty and unemployment in the cities, so as to stimulate entrepreneurial and mission oriented interventions towards redress of the situation.
