Resources for Public Theology
by Ted Peters
Public theology is conceived in the church, critically reasoned in the academy, and offered to the wider culture for the sake of the global common good.
Some loci within public systematic theology can be illuminative outside the church for making public policy. Public systematic theology is not narrowly apologetic. Rather, it gifts public discourse with discourse clarification plus worldview construction that leads all of us toward a global common good.

Ted Peters
Ted Peters pursues Public Theology at the intersection of science, religion, ethics, and public policy. Peters is an emeritus professor at the Graduate Theological Union, where he co-edits the journal, Theology and Science, on behalf of the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences, in Berkeley, California, USA. His book, God in Cosmic History, traces the rise of the Axial religions 2500 years ago. He previously authored Playing God? Genetic Determinism and Human Freedom?
