What is the relationship between religious faith and globalization processes? Does religion inevitably lead to global clashes of civilizations? Contributors to this special issue of The Review of Faith & International Affairs (Fall 2011) explore three themes: the compatibility between claims grounded in religious exclusivism and practices oriented toward political pluralism; our need for an understanding of globalization processes that does not rely on misleading images of a single human path of global “development”; and how the Christian tradition, as one faith among many, offers vital resources for thinking about the role of violence in the name of religion.
