The book is a unique stocktaking, by a leading international group of theologians, social scientists and other scholars, on issues facing public theology at the beginning of the 21st century. It combines retrospect and prospect, in that it reflects on the issues and approaches that have characterized public theology in the 20th century, especially its latter half, and attempts to anticipate those which will or should come to the fore in the 21st century, seeking to discern continuities and changes. Three opening chapters deal with the overall theme of public or political theology, with Jurgen Moltmann giving a critical historical account from the Second World War onwards, Raymond Plant relating such theology to cultural pluralism, and Andrew Morton illustrating it from the work of Duncan Forrester. These are followed by pairs of contributions relating public theology to more specific topicsr: History; Technology and Creation; Globalization; Spirituality; Punishment and Forgiveness; Medical Ethics; Tolerance and Human Rights; Social Exclusion and Equality.

Review:
'...an impressive and significant book...a surprisingly comprehensive overview of the entire field of "public theology", not only in the British context, but with contributions and insights from around the world...important...creative' (John Drane Church Times)

"This remarkablecollection of twenty-four essays demonstrates that Protestant liberationtheology is not dead, but has only been sleeping...Edinburgh's Centre of Theologyand Public Issues offers a thesis that deserves attention. Instead ofpresenting the local and the global as two opposing poles, and instead ofassisting the local simply the task of resisting the global, the Centre recommendsthat local societies enter into dialogue with the global, searching forelements in it that will allow local communities to resist, to survive, and toflourish... The thesis, in each place, the local and the global are entering intoa new relationship is this volume's original contribution."- Gregory Baum, Theology Today, January 2006 (Theology Today)
