Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A strong argument for the appeal and relevance of a liberal theology." --Gary Dorrien, Reinhold Niebuhr Professor of Social Ethics, Union Theological Seminary This book employs the expertise of multiple scholars across disciplines (theology, philosophy, religion, political science, social science, economics, and geography) sharing 'post-secular' approaches to globalization, grounded in religious (particularly Christian) thought and practice.... Attentive reading of After Modernity? will reward advanced undergraduate, graduate, and scholarly audiences appreciably. -- Steven B. Sherman, Regent University -- Religious Studies Review Luke Bretherton's analysis on the care of refugees... is compelling and powerful and makes this otherwise valuable book indispensable. -- CHOICE

Reseña del editor:

After Modernity? addresses a cluster of questions and issues found at the nexus of globalization and religion. This unique volume examines various religious--especially Christian--evaluations of and responses to globalization. In particular, the book considers the links among globalization, capitalism and secularization-and the ways in which "religion" is (or can be) deployed to address a range of "hot button" topics. With cross-disciplinary analyses, the collection argues consistently for the necessity of a "post-secular" evaluation of globalization that unapologetically draws on the resources of Christian faith. The "conservative radicalism" represented in these contributions will resonate with a broad audience of scholars and citizens who seek to put faith into action.
