The Local Church in a Global Era: Reflections for a New Century

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 the emerging global society for the local church and its mission. Written by prominent scholars and missionaries, these timely chapters examine the relation of Christian theology and ethics to global changes in the family, economics, technology, education, the media, and other key spheres of life.
