"Public Theology offers foundational and programmatic chapters exploring helpful ways to theologise about culture with missional intent. The book opens with three chapters taking steps towards developing a general theology of culture. Part Two explores the contribution of key biblical themes - creation, law, election, Christology, and redemption - to a theology of culture. The final section considers past and present theological proposals for engagement with culture, alongside contemporary reflections on nationalism and on drug culture."--BOOK JACKET.
