Contour of an American Public Theology

Posted on December 26, 2015 by PLT Staff

Paper presented by Victor Anderson at the second meeting of the Lived Theology and Race Workgroup in Memphis, Tennessee, and Oxford, Mississippi. Anderson discusses American public theology and the postmodern crisis that characterizes modern life.

Excerpt: “We need a public theology that is always cognizant of the limits of human moral actions in a world framed by finitude, while, at the same time, always anticipating the signs of grace in a world framed by transcendence.”
