by Archbishop Anastasios (Yannoulatos)From the book cover:
"The process of globalization evokes either euphoria or alarm. Some view globalization as an unmistakable sign of progress, while others view it as an unquestionable threat. Nevertheless, the accelerated development of economic, scientific , political and social links among all the peoples of the world have turned our planet into a megalopolis replete with slums. In this work, Archibishop Anastasios presents his conviction that the ecumenical vision of the Orthodox Church is the best response to the emergent global conditions. In the Orthodox tradition, everything is understood in a universal context, from the creation of the world to the vision of the new heaven and new earth. The human enterprise as a whole and the salvation of the entire world remain the basic themes of Holy Scripture. In this work, Archbishop Anastasios discussses the Orthodox perspective on human rights, the dialogue with Islam and the relationship between culture and gospel and provides an understamding of world religions. His words invite us to broaden our field of vision and encompass the whole earth."
