Abstract
"In rejecting the claim that the role of religion in today’s world is fading away, Bernice Martin1 points to two religious movements which are growing rapidly and world-wide. They are Islamic revival groups, and “the third force of Christianity based on the ‘Gifts of the Spirit’. Martin focuses specifically on the context of Latin America, and she rejects the labelling of the latter movement as “fundamentalist”. Yet the phenomenon she highlights is quite common in many parts of the world, particularly in the so called third world, as she also admits. Despite the global spread of these movements, few have made a comparative study of them from the perspective of economic ethics. Concentrating on their development in Indonesia, this study is intended to stimulate more interest in this area.", p.131.
