How might Christianity support the work of development? How might aid organizations need to shift to reflect Christian theologies? This book addresses those questions with the case study of Christian Aid, and in particular, issues of Christology and partnership. Well-researched and excellently written, this book will be of use to theologians, development practitioners, and faith-based aid organizations. -- Thia Cooper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
