The public forum in which the Christian faith is expressed is now characterized by religious pluralism. Talk about God, faith and religion is carried out in the political and social arena in a manner which presupposes diversity. It is now becoming more common for an exposition of Christian Theology to be conducted in the presence of the religious 'other'. This subject relates the changing nature of theology to developments in the public arena.
