Religion and Globalization. In his exploration of the interaction between religion and worldwide social and cultural change, the author examines the major
theories of global change and discusses the ways in
Les mer... which such change impinges on contemporary religious practice, meaning
and influence.Beyer 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 religions. He goes on to apply these issues to five contemporary illustrative cases: the American Christian Right;
Liberation Theology movements in Latin America; the Islamic Revolution in Iran; Zionists in Israel; and religious environmentalism.
