Public Witness

This article examines the potential of intercultural theology as a mode of public theologizing particularly suited for a global Christian church of extraordinary diversity today. Given the salience of “public” themes already resident within it, I suggest, intercultural theology has the potential to make a substantive contribution to the nature and practice of theology as global discourse. I explore three respects in which intercultural theology can assist the church in articulating its public witness: the demand that theology be global in scope, holistic in depth and reach, and attentive to truth.

This chapter argues that if the philosophy of religion is to take religion seriously, it must expand its focus and incorporate a wide range of religious perspectives. The chapter develops a ‘global philosophy of religion’ by critically assessing two earlier attempts to transform the philosophy of religion: Ninian Smart’s ‘philosophy of worldviews’ and John Hick’s ‘global theology’. The global philosophy of religion is more constructive than these two approaches because it emphasizes common issues that philosophers in distinct traditions can tackle together. Moreover, the global philosophy of religion moves beyond interreligious dialogue without demanding commitment to any controversial meta-theory, such as religious pluralism or religious inclusivism.
