This book uses empirical data and theory to explore the role of faiths as public actors; their contribution to welfare services, how they help build community cohesion, and break it down, and what it means for them and for others to be involved in new modes of governance.

ADAM DINHAM is Reader and Director of the Faiths and Civil Society Unit at Goldsmiths, University of London, UK. His research concerns the politics, policies and practices of disadvantage, community development and regeneration, in particular as they relate to the engagement of faith communities.
