Article Title:Religion in the context of culture, theology, and global ethics

Abstract:
The theme of this Symposium is distinctive and challenging, because it incorporates the dimensions of interreligious reflection, theology, science, and ethics. This article presents a palette of issues that are both challenge and resource for approaching the theme. Three sets of issues are considered: (1) the role of religion in culture, (2) theological interpretation of nature, disease, and evil, and (3) the fashioning of a global ethic.

Keywords: culture; death; disease; evil; global ethic; metanarrative; organization of consciousness
