ApplyTwo directions of research
The public square
The first direction of research focuses on the nature of the public square. Since there is no public theology without the definition of the public sphere, or public square, which all humans inhabit, this first area will be of crucial importance. Different theories will be explored from a Reformed and biblical perspective.
The role of the Church
A second direction of research will focus on the place and role of the Church in the public square. Issues relating to social life, work ethics, and religious diversity in a chaning world will be explored from a Reformed standpoint. This second focus will also evaluate different perspective offered by theologians and propose a way forward.
