SWART, Ignatius  y  NELL, Elsabé. Religion and development: The rise of a bibliography. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2016, vol.72, n.4, pp.1-27. ISSN 2072-8050.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.v72i4.3862.

This article endeavours to evidence the extraordinary rise of religion and development as a subject field by presenting a chronological bibliography of the literature that has been published, especially since the early to mid-2000s. By way of introduction and orientation, the authors firstly touch upon existing explanations for the extraordinary new interest in religion and development as a subject field; secondly they comment briefly on the ongoing scholarly endeavour to develop the subject field; and thirdly provide a more pertinent statement about the meaning and purpose of compiling the bibliography and the selection criterion applied towards this endeavour. It is argued that the bibliography constitutes a comprehensive resource that could strengthen and inform ongoing research in the subject field across topical issues and themes, from a religious, social science and theological perspective.
