Globalization and the Kingdom of God - Bob Goudzwaard - Paperback

Our world is rapidly becoming a single "global village." International commerce, conducted electronically with lightning-fast speed, is reshaping the very fiber of our countries as we grow increasingly interdependent on one another. Unfortunately, our village of humanity is marked by extremes: wealth and optimism for some, poverty and despair for others. And the forces driving these developments aren't superficial. Rather, they are rooted in our deepest beliefs-humanistic ideals of self-sufficiency that are starkly at odds with the Christian faith.In what was originally delivered as the fifth annual Kuyper Lecture, this resource by Bob Goudzwaard examines the controversial trend of globalization and challenges Christians to help responsibly to guide its direction.Following Goudzwaard's thoughts are critiques by associate professor of economics Dr. Brian Fikkert; professor of economic philosophy Dr. Adolfo García de la Sienra; and Larry Reed, who works with issues of global poverty through Opportunity International. Editor James W. Skillen concludes by weaving together each essay and charting a course for those who want to act globally on the basis of a biblical vision of life.Goudzwaard, Bob is the author of 'Globalization and the Kingdom of God - Bob Goudzwaard - Paperback' with ISBN 9780801063541 and ISBN 080106354X.
