ABSTRACT

This chapter contributes to the theology of reconstruction by revisiting the question of missions and money. The author discusses historical disparities in wealth that are replicated today even in the work of Christian missions and offers biblical perspectives to those interested in missions since neither missionary training nor on-field orientation adequately prepare aspiring missionaries to adequately acknowledge or address the ethical compromises characterizing those who – in St. Paul’s words – “peddle the word of God for profit” (II Corinthians 2:17) in contexts of poverty.
