Public theology is the Christian engagement and dialogue within the church and especially with the larger society. It seeks the welfare of the state and a fair society for all by engaging issues of common interest to build the common good. This is Christian theology that talks with society not just to society.[1] This is done by presenting a Christian position in a way that can be publicly understood and thereby open to public debate and critical enquiry.[2]
