How is the church being affected by globalization? What does wider
and more direct contact between the world religions mean for
Christians? What is God doing in the midst of such change? This
important volume explores the implications of today's emerging
global society for local churches and Christian mission. Prominent
scholars, missionaries, and analysts of world trends relate
Christian theology and ethics to five clusters of
issues-stewardship, prosperity, and justice; faith, learning, and
family; the Spirit, wholeness, and health; Christ, the church, and
other religions; and conflict, violence, and mission-issues that
pastors and congregations will find critical as they think through
the mission of the church in our time. Contributors: David Befus
