'Public theology' involves the application of biblical and
theological principles outside the confines of the church and
assesses their implications for wider society. It examines both the
theoretical structures of society (the nature of secularity,
government, globalisation, pluralism and so forth) and the myriad
specific issues involved in daily life (everything from sport to
work-place relations to economics). Public theology is also, very
importantly, a discipline that is practiced by the 'ordinary'
Christian as well as the academic, and it is done in public (with
all the scrutiny that entails) and in such a way that it
communicates to non-Christians (although it remains a theological
endeavour). In a real sense it is theology for the world, from the
Word, by the people of God. The volume has a variety of
contributors and includes an article on the role of public theology
in Islam.
