Bøger i Theology for the 21st Century serien

Examines the promise and the threat of globalization, using the tools of theological ethics to understand and evaluate the social contexts of life at the moral and spiritual levels. This book examines five spheres of life - economics (Mammon), political science (Mars), psychology and sexuality (Eros), and the mass media and the arts (Muses).

Part of the series "God and Globalization", this volume argues for a view of Christian theology that, in critical dialogue with other world religions and philosophies, is able to engage the new world situation, play a role in reforming the "powers" that are becoming more diverse and autonomous, and generate a social ethic for the 21st century.

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. Part of the "God and Globalization" series, this title investigates what happens when we account for religion as a force that shapes our increasingly common life on earth.

This collection focuses on the meaning of the common good and what resources Christian theology, biblical studies, and ethics might contribute to our understanding of it. The rationale for the discussion is ultimately theological.
