Theology in the Public Sphere discusses the nature, methodology and
issues in formulating public theology, the engagement of living
religious traditions with their public environment - the economic,
political and cultural spheres of common life.Public theology has
emerged as theologians wrestle with the problem of the
privatisation of Christian faith and seek to engage in dialogue
with those outside church circles on various issues, urging
Christians to participate in the public domain. It provides an
alternative mode of engagement to any form of monopoly in public
life by promoting critical inquiry and open debate. This landmark
volume outlines a constructive model of doing theology in the
public sphere. UIt draws on the author's extensive experience in a
number of different international contexts and shows how public
theological thinking is applied to a number of recent case studies
such as the Danish cartoon affair, the debate about Sharia Law and
the churches involvement in reconciliation. Professor Sebastian Kim
holds the Chair in Theology and Public Life in the Faculty of
Education & Theology at York St John University.
