Theology

“"Rudolf von Sinner's book is a milestone in the development of a modern public theology. It connects social analysis, historical information, a critical sociology of religious movements, and the normative aspects of political ethics. Under conditions of a religious pluralism as of today's Brazil it is an invitation to a human rights based, inclusive, and participative type of constitutional democracy. . . Altogether a very impressive and useful work of reference for an international public theology.”
