Public Theology: Characteristics from the Multireligious Neighborhood

Abstract

Given the multireligious neighborhood as its context, Lucinda Allen Mosher argues that Christian public theology is characteristically multidisciplinary, incarnational, cognizant of other faiths and cultures, supportive of civil discourse, collaborative, and transformational. Specialists who address the specifically inter-religious concerns of the multifaith neighborhood in faith-rooted terms indeed function as public theologians.
