"Exploring how religious roots are shaping organizations that seek to aid people across political and geographic boundaries- "service movements"- this book focuses on how religious moevements establish structures to assist people with basic human needs such as food, clothing, shelter, education, and health. Examining a multitude of faith traditions with origins in different parts of the world, seven contributing chapters, with an introduction and conclusions by the senior author, offer a unique discussion of the intersections between religious transnationalism and social movements." -- Back cover.
