Theologians, social scientists and other scholars provide a "stocktaking" of public theology at the beginning of the 21st century. The contributions combine retrospect and prospect, seeking to discern continuities and changes.

'...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'
"This remarkable collection of twenty-four essays demonstrates that Protestant liberation theology is not dead, but has only been sleeping...Edinburgh's Centre of Theology and Public Issues offers a thesis that deserves attention. Instead of presenting the local and the global as two opposing poles, and instead of assisting the local simply the task of resisting the global, the Centre recommends that local societies enter into dialogue with the global, searching for elements in it that will allow local communities to resist, to survive, and to flourish... The thesis, in each place, the local and the global are entering into a new relationship is this volume's original contribution."- Gregory Baum, Theology Today, January 2006
William Storrar is Professor of Christian Ethics and Practical Theology, and Director of the Centre for Theology and Public Issues, in the University of Edinburgh. Dr Andrew R. Morton is Honorary Fellow of the Faculty of Divinity of the University of Edinburgh.
