The Study Of Religion In An Age Of Global Dialogue

Religion is the most fundamental and comprehensive of all human activities. It tries to make sense out of not simply one or another aspect of human life, but all aspects of human experience. At the core of every civilization lies its religion, which both reflects and shapes it. Thus, if we wish to understand human life in general and our specific culture and history, we need to understand religion.What is religion? As this comprehensive work shows, religion is an explanation of the ultimate meaning of life and how to live accordingly, based on a notion of the Transcendent. Normally it contains the four ¿C¿s¿: Creed, Code of behavior, Cult and Community-structure.A new age in human consciousness is now dawning: The Age of Global Dialogue, a radically new consciousness which fundamentally shifts the ways we understand everything in life, including religion. This global dialogical way of understanding life does not lead to one global religion, but it does lead toward a consciously acknowledged common set of ethical principles, a Global Ethic. This book looks at these two movements¿the Age of Global Dialogue and inchoative Global Ethic¿in order to help readers understand what is going on around them, so they might make informed, intelligent decisions about the meaning of life and how to live it.
