Leonardo Boff & Alexandre Guilherme 
Global Civilization 
Challenges to Society and to Christianity

Transportation, telecommunications and the internet are all part of a process of globalisation that affects every sphere of life. This new phase in human evolution is central to the thinking of Leonardo Boff – one of the founders of Liberation Theology. In ‚Global Civilisation‘ Boff presents a philosophical and theological enquiry into all aspects of globalization – from market forces to politics, military force, technology and science, communication and spirituality. The book describes the revolution taking place – in consciousness, the meaning of life, holiness, the economy, politics, culture, work standards, and ethics. Boff explores the contribution of Christianity to the "new global civilisation" and presents a utopian future for humankind.
