This book breaks new ground in the field of public theology by
constructing a public theology which is built on interwoven
cultural and Christian values. Writing from the Oceanian context
(Samoa), Ah Siu-Maliko unpacks the complementary Samoan and
Christian core values of service, respect, dialogue, love, and
justice as the foundation for a values-centered response to the
social realities confronting Oceania. Drawing on the indigenous
research paradigm known as talanoa, the author grounds the public
theology that emerges in extensive interviews with 75 Samoans from
all walks of life-the "public" who are the subjects of public
theology. The resulting framework is then applied to a specific
social problem-the crisis of violence against women in Samoa. This
pioneering contribution to public theology discourse opens up
possibilities for similar contextual approaches to public theology
not only across Oceania but around the world.
