These stimulating analyses will enable readers to come to a clearer view of what Public Theology is, and how we may apply it.

What is ‘public theology’? Does it mean the arts? Public policy? Party politics? The answer is: probably all of these. In ‘A Higher Throne’ we are dealing with a rather ill-formed topic, on which there has not been a consistent viewpoint. ‘A Higher Throne’ is based on the Eleventh Oak Hill Annual School of Theology, and it 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.

Daniel Strange lectures in Public Theology at Oak Hill College. He gives a summary of the state of the debate, with both historical and contemporary viewpoints.
