Professor John Flett will be speaking at Theology on Tap in Carlton on Monday 13th May. John is the Professor of Intercultural Theology and Missiology at Pilgrim Theological College and will be talking about “why intercultural theology is the only future theology”.

John holds a PhD from Princeton Theological Seminary where he undertook a ground-breaking examination of the history and theology of missio Dei, later  published as The Witness of God (Eerdmans, 2010). His Habilitationschrift, undertaken at the Kirchliche Hochschule Wuppertal, developed a critical account the church’s apostolicity, understanding the embodiment of the faith in cultural difference as fundamental to the continuity of the faith through time. This appeared as Apostolicity: The Ecumenical Question in World Christian Perspective (IVP Academic, 2016) and was recognised as one of the IBMR’s Ten Outstanding Books in Mission Studies, World Christianity, and Intercultural Theology of 2016. His most recent work (2020) with Henning Wrogemann, titled Questions of Context: Reading a Century of German Mission Theology, examined the range of ideas that underly the theories of contextualisation and the related consequences for local embodiments of the faith.

Theology on Tap is an informal gathering for anyone who likes to discuss theology and related topics. It is organised by The Wesley Centre for Theology, Ethics, and Public Policy.

7pm, Monday 13th May at the Clyde Hotel in Carlton.
