摘要

本研究採用文獻分析法，僅就宗教倫理角度切入，初步探索基督宗教在全球化下能做些什麼？首先，釐清全球化的真正意義。其次，考察宗教面對全球化效應下的「十化」浪潮、社會運動、宗教環境論的衝擊與挑戰而出現的回應。最後，建議基督宗教在全球化過程中應負的責任是由響應全球倫理出發，經宗教對話，然後推動「全球化倫理」。期能發揮全球化的正面效應，為世界帶來長久的和平。

This study adopts the methods of documentary analysis from the perspective of Religious Ethics, and in the beginning explores what Christianity can do under globalization. The first task is to clarify the authentic meaning of globalization. Secondly, the paper examines the response of religions to the conflicts and challenges of the waves of ”ten-ization” social movements, and religious environmentalism under globalization. Finally, the author proposes that Christianity should be responsible for the world in the process of globalization, echoing and starting from the global ethic which Hans Küng offered, through inter-religious dialogue, promoting a globalizing ethics. The particular focus for this discussion is Christianity in China and Taiwan. And hopefully Christianity will enhance the positive effectiveness of globalization, and bring lasting peace for the world. Christianity looks forward to this development.
