| Summary: | Public theology, since the term was coined by Martin Marty in 1974, has gained increasing scholarly attention for the past few decades, and this burgeoning attention has moved beyond the West towards the Global South. A recent case in point is the quest to reconceptualize Chinese theological discourse through the lens of public theology, as exemplified by Alexander Chow’s Chinese Public Theology: Generational Shifts and Confucian Imagination in Chinese Christianity. Joining a growing body of scholarship on Chinese theology from the Late Ming through the post-Mao era (see, e.g., the treatments by Carl S. Kilcourse, Chen Yongtao, Philip L. Wickeri, Chloë Starr, and Naomi Thurston), Chow makes his contribution in the field by demonstrating a public theological turn. |
