Beyond the West:A Public Theology of Inclusion

Global Public Theology thrives when it embraces the voices and perspectives of theologians from the Majority World, particularly those reflecting at the intersections of faith and public life. By creating space for diverse insights, Public Theology moves beyond the dominance of Western epistemologies, engaging more inclusively with the complexities of faith in a globally entangled religious landscape. Migrant religiosity, the growing influence of African and other non-Western Christianities, and the persistence of religion in public spheres, challenges secularization narratives and enriches theological discourse. Such inclusivity not only enhances Public Theology but also offers deeper understandings of faith and public life in a pluralistic, interconnected world.

Abstract

Global Public Theology thrives when it embraces the voices and perspectives of theologians from the Majority World, particularly those reflecting at the intersections of faith and public life. By creating space for diverse insights, Public Theology moves beyond the dominance of Western epistemologies, engaging more inclusively with the complexities of faith in a globally entangled religious landscape. Migrant religiosity, the growing influence of African and other non-Western Christianities, and the persistence of religion in public spheres, challenges secularization narratives and enriches theological discourse. Such inclusivity not only enhances Public Theology but also offers deeper understandings of faith and public life in a pluralistic, interconnected world.
