Public Theology for the 21st Century

Theologians, social scientists and other scholars provide a "stocktaking" of issues facing public theology at the beginning of the 21st century. The contributions combine retrospect and prospect, reflecting on the issues and approaches that have characterised public theology in the 20th century, especially its latter half, and attempt to anticipate those which will or should come to the fore in the 21st century, seeking to discern continuities and changes.
