World Religions

Chapter 9 in New Age Globalization, 2013, pp 223-246 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The discussion so far in this work has emphasized the outreach and interdependence of the multifaceted phenomenon of globalization that has brought the world closer as a unitary system and made it more connected in more ways than ever before. It would, however, be impossible to fully grasp the reality, the scope, and the future prospects of globalization without understanding the place of religion in this “brave new world.” Religions today are as much affected by or affecting the process of globalization as the global economy, politics, and culture discussed previously. Religion, religiosity, and religious tolerance or intolerance are perhaps the most powerful forces that could help bring the world together or tear it apart.
