About the Book

Despite the predicted secularization of the world, religion continues to grow as a global influence, one that has the power to unify or to divide. Yet contemporary discussions of globalization rarely take religion into account. The contributors to this third volume in the God and Globalization series investigate what happens when we account for religion as a force that shapes our increasingly common life on earth. They look at the effect of religion within and across national borders and cultures: how the world is brought together by common ethical perspectives, and pushed apart by the different ultimate concerns of each religion. God and Globalization: Christ and the Dominions of Civilization offers fresh perspectives and interpretations on religion and the politics, economics, and culture of globalization. It points readers toward the pivotal factors that will determine the fate of our common human destiny. Max L. Stackhouse, coordinating editor of the God and Globalization series, is Stephen Colwell Professor of Christian Ethics at Princeton Theological Seminary, and author of Creeds, Societies and Human Rights: A Study in Three Cultures, Public Theology and Political Economy, and Covenant and Commitments. Diane B. Obenchain is Visiting Professor in the Department of Religious Studies, Beijing University, and Fellow, The Casperson School of Graduate Studies at Drew University. She is the author of For China: Comparative Essays on Moral Leadership.

Review :
"That religion as a major factor in globalization is addressed in such a bold way, within a clearly defined framework of 'Christian leadership', and with participation of leading figures in Christian scholarship, has to be applauded." - Christoffel Lombard, University of Western Cape, South Africa "'Globalization' seems to have as many definitions as there are books and articles defining it. Seldom, however, is the phenomenon considered with the theological and moral insight provided by this volume." -Richard John Neuhaus, First Things "This is the third volume of an intriguing series called God and Globalization sponsored by one of the most important centres of theological reflection, which is located in Princeton...This is an important contribution to an ongoing debate, which should probably invite more voices in the current concerto of religious ideas hosted by free societies...God and Globalization represents a notable series and offers an excellent opportunity of Christian theologians and scholars of religion alike to engage in conversation, listen, and respond critically one to another. By making this meeting possible, we remain Professor Max L. Stackhouse (the main editor of the series) in great debt." -Archaevs Journal "Globalization seems to have as many definitions as there are books and articles defining it. Seldom, however, is the phenomenon considered with the theological and moral insight provided by this volume." "The various authors write knowledgeably in their respective fields and address insightfully the new international context." -International Bulletin of Missionary Research, 7/04 "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." "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." -Publisher's Weekly
