The prominence of religion in recent debates around politics,
identity formation, and international terrorism has led to an
increased demand on those studying religion to help clarify and
contextualise religious belief and practice in the public sphere.
While many texts focus on the theoretical development of the
subject, this book outlines a wider application of these studies by
exploring the role of religious studies scholars and theologians as
public intellectuals. This collection of essays first seeks to
define exactly what makes an intellectual "public". It then goes on
to deal with a few questions of concern: How do public
intellectuals construct knowledge in religious and theological
scholarship? What is the link between public intellectuals of
higher education and their role in society? Do higher education
institutions have a responsibility to endorse public
intellectualism? Looking at the individual and collective role of
religious studies scholars and theologians in public life, this
book will be of great interest to all scholars and academics
involved in religious studies and theology across the academy.
