God and Globalization: Volume 3 cover

This volume explores the significant impact of religion on globalization, highlighting its dual role in unifying and dividing societies. God and Globalization: Volume 3 offers valuable insights.

In God and Globalization: Volume 3, the authors delve into the complex relationship between religion and globalization. Despite predictions of a secular world, religion remains a significant global force, capable of both uniting and dividing societies. This volume is part of the larger 'God and Globalization' series, which seeks to explore the multifaceted roles that religion plays in shaping our shared human experience. The contributors challenge the notion that contemporary discussions of globalization can ignore the influence of religious beliefs and practices.

The book investigates how religion transcends national boundaries and cultural differences, examining its impact on ethical perspectives that can either foster unity or create division. By analyzing various religious traditions, the authors present a nuanced understanding of how these belief systems contribute to the dynamics of globalization. They highlight the complexities that arise when different ultimate concerns intersect, revealing both the potential for common ground and the challenges posed by divergent worldviews.

God and Globalization: Volume 3 offers fresh insights into the interplay between religion and the politics, economics, and culture of globalization. Through theological ethics, the contributors provide a framework for evaluating the promise and perils of globalization, encouraging readers to consider the moral and spiritual dimensions of our interconnected lives. This volume serves as an essential resource for anyone looking to understand the role of religion in shaping the global landscape.

"In an age in which globalization is too often just a buzzword for a phenomenon narrowly described in terms of economics and information technology, the God and Globalization trilogy presents serious reflection on the intersection of these with globalization's cultural, religious, and moral dimensions." - Publishers Weekly"
