The idea and practice of public theology has recently emerged as a distinct field of scholarship that proactively engages theology with contemporary public issues. The global project of public theology has expanded the western idea of three audiences - the church, the academy and the public domain – and their inter-relationship to multiple publics. It has now become a global discipline that intersects with the emergence of a world Christianity. Now, in the Anthropocene, those three audiences should be viewed in the light of a concern for the whole of creation, including those other creatures with whom we share life and upon whom we depend.
A public theology seeks to be in creative dialogue with different academic disciplines, including politics, economics, law and security studies, cultural studies, religion, spirituality, the natural science and the social sciences and the study of globalization. It is sensitive to the emergence of new publics that arise out of theology’s engagement with other new disciplines – like astrobiology – which redefines understandings of what is space and what is public. It is also a discipline that welcomes the expertise of practitioners reflecting on public policy.
The International Journal of Public Theology, affiliated with the Global Network for Public Theology, is a platform for original inter/transdisciplinary research in this field. Manuscripts submitted for publication must exhibit clear and sustained engagement between theology, broadly construed, and a matter or matters of public significance.
All articles undergo rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and blind refereeing by two anonymous referees.

"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
