全球化這一舉足輕重的現象吸引了許多神學家的回應。本文目的是引介德國神學家莫特曼對這一普世發展的看法的批評。對於莫特曼來說，全球化與上帝的國度同樣宣稱其為世界的終末。然而，莫特曼認為全球化乃市場導向的資本主義的發展，背後的信念乃經濟的自由主義。福山在其《歷史之終結與最後一人》中，高舉這種全球化為人類歷史的終結。莫特曼反對這種看法，提出只有三一上帝最終建立的上帝國度，當中所實現的自由才是人類所值得追求的自由。因為這種自由不在於市場所賦予的價值，而是一種在愛中的自由，是三一上帝在其經世活動中所應許的終末。

ABSTRACT

Globalization is a significant phenomena which attracts many theologians to respond. This paper aims to introduce the German theologian Jürgen Moltmann’s theological understanding and criticism of this universal development. For Moltmann, globalization and the kingdom of God share the same spirit of claiming itself as the eschaton of the world. However, Moltmann considers globalization as a kind of market-oriented Capitalism behind which is the belief of economic liberalism. Francis Fakuyama’s The End of History and the Last Man highly supports such kind of globalization as the end of human history. Against of this Moltmann purposes that only the human freedom actualized in the kingdom of God offered by the Triune God is what worthy for human being to pursue since the value of human being is not measured by the market but construed by the relationship in love which is the eschaton promised by the triune God in His economic activity.
