Chapter 15 in Managing Religion: The Management of Christian Religious and Faith-Based Organizations, 2014, pp 185-203 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Throughout this book we have explored particular challenges facing religious and faith-based organizations, but in this final chapter we shall study some major long-term issues facing such organizations. A single biblical text sets the scene; the major part of the chapter explores the challenges faced respectively by the voluntary sector, by religious organizations, by faith-based organizations, and by the natural defences that religious and faith-based organizations might possess against the challenges facing the voluntary sector; and the section on secular management theory discusses the postmodern company. The final section concludes both this chapter and the book as a whole.
