Public Theology refers to the intersection between faith and the public sphere. It involves the application of theological principles to social, political, cultural and economic issues and seeks to promote a more just and equitable society. In African Christianity, Public Theology is particularly relevant due to the many social, political and economic challenges faced by the continent. These challenges include poverty, corruption, conflicts, dictatorship of the majority in governance and unemployment of young people.

Opuni-Frimpong has written extensively on the subject of Public Theology in African Christianity and has argued that the church has an important role to play in addressing these challenges. He has emphasized the need for the church to engage with issues of social justice and speak out against injustice and oppression. He has argued that the voices of ordinary people, especially those who are marginalized and disadvantaged, should be heard and valued in national and theological debates.

Opuni-Frimpong’s work on Public Theology in African Christianity highlights the importance of theological reflections and engagements in the pursuit of a more just and equitable society. His insights are invaluable, not only for African Christians but for theologians and scholars around the world who seek to promote social justice, the common good and Christian public witness.
