Mention in review article by Linda Hogan (Irish School of Ecumenics), 'Public theology for the twenty-first century'

'...an impressive and significant book...a surprisingly comprehensive overview of the entire field of "public theology", not only in the British context, but with contributions and insights from around the world...important...creative'
*Church Times*

"This remarkable collection of twenty-four essays demonstrates that Protestant liberation theology is not dead, but has only been sleeping...Edinburgh's Centre of Theology and Public Issues offers a thesis that deserves attention. Instead of presenting the local and the global as two opposing poles, and instead of assisting the local simply the task of resisting the global, the Centre recommends that local societies enter into dialogue with the global, searching for elements in it that will allow local communities to resist, to survive, and to flourish... The thesis, in each place, the local and the global are entering into a new relationship is this volume's original contribution."- Gregory Baum, Theology Today, January 2006
