The Global Network for Public Theology is an academic research partnership that promotes theological contributions to public conversations in local contexts with global perspectives.
Welcome to the GNPT!
As a network of member institutions from all continents, we foster scholarly exchange about the contribution of Christianity to public discourse in such diverse fields as social ethics, environmental ethics, political ethics, and more. Research within the network focuses on the respective regional, cultural, social, and political contexts in which churches and academic theologians work in their countries and on the bearing these contexts have on theology.
