Rethinking in Sociological Context the Christian Lifestyle and its Implications For Poverty Discourse in Nigeria
Poverty is a recurring debate because it is a phenomenon, which affects the life and living patterns of a large number of Nigerians. Many scholarly works unraveled the meaning of poverty, its causes, measurement, effects and remedies from the socio-economic, eclectic, international security, political, environmental and technological perspectives. All these studies have paid insignificant attention to Christian religious style of life as a factor in poverty discourse. Therefore, this paper, in the context of Durkheim functional, discusses the content, context, and intents of Christian religious style of life and its intellectual implications for a holistic understanding of the meaning, causes and effects, and solution of poverty.
