__Leading Reformed Thinkers on the Depth, Diversity, and Global Impact of the Reformed Tradition__   
"In this volume public theology in the Reformed tradition is catapulted into the twenty-first century. The range of topics covered is impressive. Anyone with an interest in Reformed theology should read this book. Those who are not Reformed will still find intellectual riches with which to engage."  
--__Oliver D. Crisp__, Logos Institute, University of St. Andrews  
  
"This book offers a real contribution to the wider landscape of public theology. It is also a page-turner! Engaging many of today's lived and complex realities through the lens of the Reformed faith, this volume has wisdom to offer Christians from every tradition as well as concerned citizens of the world. I hope it is read far and wide."  
--__Kristen Deede Johnson__, Western Seminary  
  
"Those who think of Reformed public theology as an occasional treat of Dutch origin will find themselves surprised at the depth, range, and global scope on display in this book. Kaemingk has assembled a band of contributors from different countries, backgrounds, and interests who show us that the church has much to gain from the ongoing stewardship of a tradition that invites us to practice holy worldliness."  
--__Vincent Bacote__, Wheaton College  
  
"This impressive volume brings together leading scholars from four corners of the world to argue, from their contexts, for public theology in a Reformed key. It offers readers a rich sampling of the ways this centuries-old tradition continues to have relevance and vitality for today's most pressing issues."  
--__Alexander Chow__, University of Edinburgh

__Matthew Kaemingk__ (PhD, Vrije Universiteit and Fuller Theological Seminary) is the Richard John Mouw Assistant Professor of Faith and Public Life at Fuller Theological Seminary, where he also serves as director of the Richard John Mouw Institute of Faith and Public Life. He is associate dean for Fuller Texas, serves as a research fellow for the Center for Public Justice, is the coauthor (with Cory B. Willson) of Work and Worship.

The Reformed tradition in the twenty-first century is increasingly diverse, dynamic, and deeply engaged in a wide variety of global and public issues, from the arts and business to immigration and race to poetry and politics. This book brings together the insights of a diverse group of leading Reformed thinkers--including Nicholas Wolterstorff, Makoto Fujimura, Bruce Ashford, John Witvliet, Ruben Rosario Rodriguez, and James K. A. Smith--to offer a contemporary vision of the depth and diversity of the Reformed faith and its global public impact.

Leading Reformed thinkers introduce readers to the depth, diversity, and global public impact of the Reformed tradition.
