Klappentext

This book delves into the public character of public theology from the sites of subalternity, the excluded Dalit (non) public in the Indian public sphere. Raj Bharat Patta employs a decolonial methodology and explores the topic in three parts: First, he engages with theological contexts, by mapping global and Indian public theologies and critically analysing them. Next, he discusses theological companions, and explains theological subalternity and subaltern public as companions for a subaltern public theology for India. Finally, Patta explains theological contours by discussing subaltern liturgy as a theological account of the subaltern public and explores a subaltern public theology for India.
