Product Description
by Peter Y. Hong (Author)
The Reconciliation of Humanity in Christ is essential reading for Christians who wish to lead and serve the globalized world. This book is about theological engagement with globalization. Although people are now living in a world in which a universal and inclusive society has emerged, the church has remained powerless in uniting peoples, nations, and civilizations as one in Christ. In order for the church to regain its credibility and confidence, it must address three theological issues: social justice, religious pluralism and ethics, and the missional method. The rationale for this book is that the power of true religion becomes evident in the world when all Christians are engaging with globalization to reconcile humanity with God and with each other in preparation for the consummation of God's kingdom. In response to the problems of globalization, Christians can become agents of renewal for globalization by administering God's grace and peace for humanity. This book will educate and equip the readers to engage with the issues of globalization in the public arena. Readers will gain a biblical understanding of the church's role in fulfilling God's plan and purpose for humanity through globalization.
