Beschreibung
This volume represents the proceedings of the 2003 meeting
of the International Academy of Practical Theology, which
was held in Manchester (UK) on the theme of `public
theology’. Featuring over twenty papers from some of the
world’s leading practical theologians, `Pathways to the
Public Square’ offers a wide variety of perspectives on the
relationship between theology and politics, education, law,
culture and economics. They include subjects as diverse as
the role of religion in the constitution of the European
Union, theological themes in popular music, Roman
Catholic-Muslim dialogue in the U.S.A., and the spirituality
of the public realm. This book will be of interest to
theological educators and students, church leaders,
policy-makers and all those interested in the relationship
between religion and public life.
