'The field of public theology is attracting increased attention in both a global and multi-disciplinary context. With heightened awareness of the political and social significance of religion, this journal promises to create an important focus for the dissemination of research amongst scholars and practitioners.'
Professor David Fergusson, Head of the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, UK


'It is now clear that religion is likely to play a significant role in the public sphere through the twenty-first century. The need for thoughtful theological engagement with the major issues of public life has therefore never been greater. The International Journal of Public Theology deserves the confidence and support both of those involved in theology and religious studies in the academy and of the far larger numbers of people concerned to have healthy public debate. It has been well conceived and is in the hands of a fine editorial team.'
Professor David F. Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity & Director, Cambridge Inter-Faith Programme, University of Cambridge, UK


'Theological reflection on public life is essential if Christians are to participate in God's mission. For that reason I warmly commend the International Journal of Public Theology to all who share this conviction, and to those who might well do so.'
Professor John W. de Gruchy, Emeritus Professor of Christian Studies, University of Cape Town, South Africa


'This journal could not be more timely or important in a global era. It offers informed theological reflection and interdisciplinary analysis from around the world on local-global public issues that affect us all. It will be a significant theological voice in the global public sphere.'
Professor William F. Storrar, Director, Center of Theological Inquiry, Princeton, USA
