“Religion is an increasingly significant factor in our
society, so understanding religious and faith-based organizations is more
important than ever. Until now Malcolm Torry's Managing God's Business has been
the only wide-ranging survey of the characteristics of religious and
faith-based organizations. Now, in his first of two volumes, Managing Religion:
The Management of Religious Organizations offers the first comprehensive discussion
of the management of religious and faith-based organizations (in this case of
Christian ones). Each chapter offers a discussion of the earliest Christian
organizations based on New Testament evidence; a study of modern religious and
faith-based organizations and their management based on classic and recent
research literature, and where necessary on new theory; and an exploration of
aspects of secular management theory that might or might not be appropriate to
the management of religious and faith-based organizations. This book is
essential reading for anyone involved in the management of organizations in the
vast and increasingly important religious sector.” (Palgrave Macmillan) (DMcA)
