Description: In a world plagued by religious conflict how can the various religious and secular traditions coexist peacefully on the planet? And what role does sociology play in helping us understand the state of religious life in a globalizing world? In the Fourth Edition of Gods in the Global Village author Lester Kurtz continues to address these questions. This text is an engaging thought - provoking examination of the relationships among the major faith traditions that inform the thinking and ethical standards of most people in the emerging global social order. Thoroughly updated to reflect recent events the book discusses the role of religion in our daily lives and global politics and the ways in which religion is both an agent of and barrier to social change.
