Rather than being a neat and tidy relationship, faith-based development work is complex and multifaceted: an ongoing series of negotiations between theological interpretations and theories of human development; between identities as professional practitioners and as believers; between different religious traditions at local, regional and international levels; and between institutional structures and individual agency. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn particular, the book draws on a deep ethnographic study of Christian faith-based development work in the Bolivian Andes.
