Summary:Globalization is not a new phenomenon, but it is being expressed in a new way. It is a phenomenon all over the world; not only does it have a deep impact on the economy, it also affects all countries, all aspects of our daily life, such as our society, culture, economy, and religion. The value of globalization is the subject of debate: it has positive and negative effects. Some religious problems have emerged from globalization: secularism, individualism, New Age religious movements, the rise of religious radicalism, and the growth of religious commerce. Theologians view their religion as a universal that can live inand adapt all ages all of the time and in any social surrounding. Their religion is weatherproof. According to this approach, theologians have to find a persuasive solution to global theological problems.
