Abstract
The article analyses the subject of globalization as a challenge for a modern world and today’s theology. After pointing out the positive views of globalization, author analyses this phenomenon from economic, social – political, cultural and ethical/religious point of view. It is shown that globalisation carries various risks with it, toward individual man and for the whole nations, for example: imperative for the profit, consumerism, injustice for the weak and “small” nations, social injustice, degradation of human dignity… The second part of the article is dedicated to relations between Scripture, Church and Christian theology towards globalisation. By following the study of more just social teaching, the article suggests the way of solidarity as fundamental and inspiring criterion for globalisation.
