Anotace
How is religion important in a globalized society? What role does it play in a highly interconnected world? Religion and Globalization explores the interaction between religion and world-wide social and cultural change. Peter Beyer examines major theories of global change and discusses ways in which such change impinges on contemporary religious practice, meaning and influence. He explores some of the key issues in understanding the shape of religion today, including religion as culture and as social system, pure and applied religion, privatized and publicly influential religion, and liberal versus conservative religion. He goes on to apply these themes to five illustrative cases of contemporary importance: the American Christian Right, liberation theology movements in Latin America, the Islamic revolution in Iran, religious Zionists in Israel, and religious environmentalism - the response of religions to the degradation of the natural environment.This volume is vital for understanding the place of religion in a global culture and the relation between religion and globalization. It is essential reading for scholars and students of sociology and religious studies as well as all those interested in the nature and direction of global cultural change.
