Reformed Public Theology A Global Vision for Life in the World

Leading Reformed thinkers introduce readers to the depth, diversity, and global public impact of the Reformed tradition. Leading Reformed Thinkers on the Depth, Diversity, and Global Impact of the Reformed Tradition "In this volume public theology in the Reformed tradition is catapulted into the twenty-first century. The range of topics covered is impressive. Anyone with an interest in Reformed theology should read this book. Those who are not Reformed will still find intellectual riches with which to engage." -- Oliver D. Crisp, Logos Institute, University of St. Andrews "This book offers a real contribution to the wider landscape of public theology. It is also a page-turner! Engaging many of today's lived and complex realities through the lens of the Reformed faith, this volume has wisdom to offer Christians from every tradition as well as concerned citizens of the world. I hope it is read far and wide." -- Kristen Deede Johnson, Western Seminary "Those who think of Reformed public theology as an occasional treat of Dutch origin will find themselves surprised at the depth, range, and global scope on display in this book. Kaemingk has assembled a band of contributors from different countries, backgrounds, and interests who show us that the church has much to gain from the ongoing stewardship of a tradition that invites us to practice holy worldliness." -- Vincent Bacote, Wheaton College "This impressive volume brings together leading scholars from four corners of the world to argue, from their contexts, for public theology in a Reformed key. It offers readers a rich sampling of the ways this centuries-old tradition continues to have relevance and vitality for today's most pressing issues." -- Alexander Chow, University of Edinburgh Contributors Katherine Leary Alsdorf Bruce Riley Ashford Romel Regalado Bagares Kyle David Bennett Agnes Chiu Robert S.
