Subaltern Public Theology

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.
