Religious ethics; Christianity; Christian theology

The Reconciliation of Humanity in Christ is essential reading for Christians who wish to lead and serve the globalized world. This book is about theological engagement with globalization. Although people are now living in a world in which a universal and inclusive society has emerged, the church has remained powerless in uniting peoples, nations, and civilizations as one in Christ. In order for the church to regain its credibility and confidence, it must address three theological issues: social justice, religious pluralism and ethics, and the missional method. The rationale for this book is that the power of true religion becomes evident in the world when all Christians are engaging with globalization to reconcile humanity with God and with each other in preparation for the consummation of God's kingdom. In response to the problems of globalization, Christians can become agents of renewal for globalization by administering God's grace and peace for humanity. This book will educate and equip the readers to engage with the issues of globalization in the public arena. Readers will gain a biblical understanding of the church's role in fulfilling God's plan and purpose for humanity through globalization.

Reviews for The Reconciliation of Humanity in Christ

""Peter Hong has written a book on an important topic that sets just the right tone at just the right moment. His overview of globalization is expansive but not so broad that it risks being thinly developed. His theological analysis is insightful without becoming bogged down in minutia. Together, these two qualities shed a timely and clarifying light on our contemporary world."" --Brent Waters, Emeritus Stead Professor of Christian Social Ethics, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary ""This book offers a redeemed perspective on how the churches and missions should engage with globalization. It sheds light on the blind spots of Western Christianity and modern missions to provide a practical and theological foundation for a mission of reconciliation. Also, the author explains why Western Christianity in the past couldn't reject colonialism and urges global churches to resist worldly globalization, while promoting true globalization."" --Sanguk (David) Park, regional director, Pacific Asia, SIM International ""This book is an outstanding work on the ills and problems that arise from contemporary globalization. In a remarkable way it educates Christians to engage with the globalized world for the reconciliation of humanity with God and with each other, giving a new perspective on God's plan and purpose for true globalization."" --Ji-Ung Lim, organizational development director, World Evangelical Alliance ""The Reconciliation of Humanity in Christ addresses the opportunities, possibilities, challenges, and difficulties globalization poses for human communities. Hong's detailed discussion is insightful and helpful. The biblical and theological focus provides a valuable framework for the church and Christians to give a biblical and a theological response to globalization and the role theology plays in shaping it . . . I strongly recommend Peter Hong's book to anyone who wants to learn more about globalization and how to respond to it and to engage theologically with the challenges it poses for human communities."" --James Nkansah-Obrempong, dean of Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology, Africa International University
