These forces affect everything from the public policies of political leaders and the economic decisions of industry bosses and employees, to university curricula, and all the way to the inner longings of our hearts. Integral to both globalization and religions are compelling, overlapping, and sometimes competing visions of what it means to live well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this perceptive, deeply personal, and beautifully written book, a leading theologian sheds light on how religions and globalization have historically interacted and argues for what their relationship ought to be. Recounting how these twinned forces have intersected in his own life, he shows how world religions, despite their malfunctions, remain one of our most potent sources of moral motivation and contain within them profoundly evocative accounts of human flourishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGlobalization should be judged by how well it serves us for living out our authentic humanity as envisioned within these traditions. Through renewal and reform, religions might, in turn, shape globalization so that it can be about more than bread alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430718882028,"sku":"9780300227130","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300227130.jpg?v=1774558682"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/miroslav-volf.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
