Introduction / Chris Green -- 1. Evangelical public theology: what on earth? Why on earth? How on earth? / Daniel Strange -- 2. New living in an old creation / Kirsten Birkett -- 3. Samuel Rutherford and the confessionally Christian state / David Field -- 4. Gabbatha and Golgotha: penal substitutionary atonement and the public square / Garry J. Williams -- 5. Inescapably political: sermon preached in Oak Hill Chapel / David Field.
"What is 'public theology'? Does it mean the arts? Public policy? Party politics? The answer is: probably all of these. Here we are dealing with a rather ill-formed topic, on which there has not been a consistent viewpoint. This volume, based on the Eleventh Oak Hill Annual School of Theology, offers a conversation among those who represent a consistently orthodox evangelicalism, who see public life in relation to the Christian gospel in quite different ways, but who are committed to thinking biblically about the matter and coming to a common mind."--back cover
