"This book gives a persuasive answer to the need for public theology
today. Rudolf von Sinner can draw from a rich basis of scholarship and
experience related to the topic of public theology. His clear awareness
of the contextuality of public theology is the reason for his repeated
assurance in this book that we cannot speak about 'public theology' but
always only of 'a' public theology. At the same time it is very clear
for him that there is also an 'intercontextuality'. One of the great
strengths of this book is its embeddedness into an international
discourse on public theology, with a special emphasis on the South-South
exchange. It is a contribution to public theology scholarship in its
best sense. I proudly welcome its publication in our series." --Bishop
