Managing Religion: The Management of Christian Religious and Faith-Based Organizations cover

This two-volume work explores the management of religious and faith-based organizations. Each chapter offers a discussion of the earliest Christian organizations based on New Testament evidence; a study of managing faith-based organizations; and an exploration of secular management theory in relation to the management of faith-based organizations.

Managing Religion is the extensive exploration of the literature of organizational theory and management in search of perspectives to help explain the structures and behaviors of these kinds of organizations. … This is a book whose audience may be … people who care deeply about the Church and its institutions, and who have a strong interest in management and organizational theory. Nonetheless, for people with those particular interests, it may be an engaging and helpful text.” (Thomas H. Jeavons, Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, Vol. 45 (3), June, 2016)
