Investigating corruption from a wider lens, the handbook breaks from the notion of restricting corruption to the Global South and provides a much-needed global approach to deal with the problem at hand. The book also addresses the need for sharper theoretical reflections on the interface of religion and corruption. Providing a wider geographical coverage as well as more in-depth probing of the negative and positive roles of religion in confronting corruption in specific regional contexts, the book ultimately explores how corruption affects all three dimensions of sustainable development – social, economic, and environmental. It is an import reference source for scholars working of religion, policy as well as theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEzra Chitando\u003c\/strong\u003e serves as Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Zimbabwe, Theology Consultant on HIV for the World Council of Churches and extraordinary professor at the University of Western Cape, South Africa.
