Theology and Public Life, Dr. Ludie L. Hoffman, explores how robust Christian theology shapes and informs public life. Doctoral students will examine the theological foundations for Christian engagement in politics, justice, media, economics, education, and civil society. Grounded in biblical ethics and historical precedent, this book empowers students to think theologically and act prophetically in today’s complex cultural landscape. From Augustine’s City of God to contemporary models of public witness, students will assess strategies for preserving doctrinal integrity while engaging redemptively with the world. Students will prepare a dissertation chapter or theological white paper as their capstone contribution to this vital field.
