What are spiritually-minded people — on ail sides of the issue — doing and saying about it? The economic and cultural dynamic of globalization is transforming the world at an unprecedented pace. But what exactly is it? What are its origins? What is its impact on our spiritual lives? This lucid introduction surveys the religious landscape, explaining in clear and nonjudgmental language the beliefs that motivate spiritual leaders, activists, theologians, academies, and others involved on ail sides of the issue. Included are the points-of-view of: Bahá’is, Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, Earth-based and tribal religions, Protestants, Hindus, Roman Catholics Unlike other books on this controversial issue, this easy-to-read introduction won’t tell you what to think; it gives you the information you need to reach your own conclusions. |
