Abstract

Two trends have emerged in theology and missiology in the recent decades, which are the interest in “publicness.” Many theologians, regardless of their specific expertise, are exploring the Christian faith in the public sphere. They began to pay attention to the social issues outside church, especially after the Pandemic. A similar phenomenon appears to missiology. After David Bosch, contemporary missiologists embark on dealing with public issues as themes of missiology. These current trends lead one to think about publicness of missiology. Indeed, the nature of public is in missiology. This can be recognized vividly through comparison of three elements in public theology and missiology: definitions of public theology and missiology, contextuality and intercontextuality, and interdisciplinarity and constructive theology as methodology.
