Distinguishing public theology from political theology, as well as from liberation theology, this book clarifies central terms like 'public sphere', 'the secular', and 'post-secularity' in order to highlight the specific characteristics of public theology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIts particular focus lies on the ways in which much of public theology has established itself as a contextual theology in politically secular societies, aiming to continue the apologetical tradition in this specific context. Depending on what is regarded as the most pressing challenge for the reasonable defence of the Christian hope in liberal democracies, public theologians have focused on (social) ethics, ecclesiology, or Soteriology, with the aim to strengthen the virtues needed for democratic citizenship. Here, attention is being paid to Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox perspectives. The volume further illustrates the characteristics of the discourse by introducing the ways in which public theologians have responded to concrete challenges arising in the spheres of politics, economics, ecology, sports, culture, and religion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo highlight the international scope of the public theological discourse, the volume concludes with a summarizing overview of public theological debates in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and Latin America.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristoph H?benthal \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Systematic Theology and Director of the Center for Catholic Studies at Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristiane Alpers \u003c\/b\u003eis Research and Teaching Fellow at the Catholic University of Eichst?tt-Ingolstadt, Germany.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.21 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 27, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51783597654304,"sku":"9780567707048","price":73.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0d31f2e8aa3925e2033ac6d8de5b4c6e.webp?v=1780590547","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/t-t-clark-handbook-of-public-theology-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
