Corruption, Foreign Aid and International Development - Bob Osburn - Friday Night Lecture - November 21st

from L’Abri Rochester · host Rochester L’Abri

This lecture explains why corruption is so rampant in the international aid sector, tracing much of the problem to faulty diagnoses and remedies rooted in naturalistic and postmodern worldviews. Dr. Bob Osburn, who has worked in international student and academic campus ministry for 40 years and has authored Taming the Beast: Can We Bridle the Culture of Corruption?, recommends a rejection of Christian sentimentalism and a simultaneous fulsome embrace of the Christian worldview in order to bridle corruption in the international aid sector while also enhancing international development outcomes centered on human flourishing.
