Download Flourishing: Why We Need Religion in a Globalized World AudioBook Free
More than just about anything else, globalization and the great world religions are shaping our lives, influencing everything from the public policies of political market leaders and the financial decisions of industry bosses and employees to university or college curricula, all the way to the inner longings of the hearts. Integral to both globalization and religions are persuasive, overlapping, and sometimes competing visions of what this means to reside well. With this perceptive, deeply personal, and superbly written book, a respected theologian sheds light how religions and globalization have historically interacted and argues for what their relationship ought to be. Recounting how these twinned makes have intersected in his own life, he shows how world religions, despite their malfunctions, continue to be one of the most potent sources of moral determination and contain within them profoundly evocative accounts of individuals flourishing. Globalization should be judged by how well it serves us for living out our traditional mankind as envisioned within these customs. Through renewal and reform, religions might, in turn, shape globalization so that it can be about more than bakery alone.
