When theology goes public the subaltern way, subaltern public theology evolves. In that evolution, the search for its implications within a 21st century post secular British public sphere today becomes immanent. Public theology thus far has been engaging on a theological relevance of public issues. But subaltern public theology offers a different perspective of public theology which is to engage on the public character of theology in the public sphere from the sites of subalternity. The British public sphere in the 21st century has been post-secular with faith(s) now on the margins according to the recent census, xenophobia on the rise, hunger and poverty growing by leaps and bounds due to the rise of the cost of living and dehumanisation of people seeking sanctuary continuing unabated. In such a context, subaltern public theology with its de-colonial methodology offers a new vision for a public God-talk from the sites of subalternity, unsettling both theos and logos in theology by seeking to explore public character and public meaning of theology today with an aim to transform our public sphere.
