Rudolf von Sinner Book order

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 Prof. Dr Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, Evangelical Church in Germany}

The book explores the evolution of Brazilian theology, particularly the Theology of Liberation, in response to the country's dynamic political landscape. It highlights the interplay between the Roman Catholic Church and the rising evangelical movements, especially during the transition to democracy in the 1980s. Advocating for a new, ecumenical public theology, it draws on Lutheran principles to emphasize human dignity, citizenship, and political engagement. The work aims to guide churches in their societal contributions while fostering critical and constructive theological discourse.
