Abstract
- "For a Socially Engaged Faith" by Felix Wilfred is a collection of essays and lectures that explore the concept of public theology in the Asian context. Wilfred argues that theology must address the suffering and systemic injustices faced by marginalized communities, rather than focusing solely on dogmatic propositions. He calls for a socially engaged faith that combines spirituality with social activism, emphasizing the need for creative public theology that involves thinkers, artists, and intellectuals from various religious backgrounds. Wilfred also discusses the importance of Pope Francis's critique of capitalism and the market, and how it aligns with the goals of public theology. This thought-provoking and accessible volume will be of interest to theologians, ethicists, and scholars of Asian Christianity. [Extracted from the article]
