Emplacing Globalisation

Evangelism & Missions

“Few would disagree that globalization has emerged as a dominant force shaping the modern world. Economics, politics, culture, media, entertainment, education, healthcare, environment – all fundamental aspects of society are deeply impacted by the processes of globalization. Knowledge of the world is incomplete without scrutinizing the influences of globalization. It is therefore crucial for theology in general – and missiology in particular – to engage substantively with the phenomenon of globalization. Cheong and Ro did just that. In their work, they put globalization into context, describing the processes and influences of globalization on societies and individuals. They also put globalization into the contextualization of the Gospel, demonstrating how the mission and ministries of the Church can be effective in the context of globalization. It is a highly recommended read for those seeking to deepen their insight into this critical intersection.”
