Abstract
Filled with insightful chapters from multiple contributors spanning academia to policymakers and practitioners from various institutions, such as governments, the UN and NGOs, the book is replete with a variety of subjects critical to the field of sustainable development: they span the role of faith-based organizations, particularly in Africa, to relations between religion and economics in different contexts, for example micro- entrepreneurs in Guatemala to the structures of Islamic banking, to religion and the Millennium Development Goals, particularly on health and poverty alleviation, to general relations between religion, development, rights and social change.
