4.9/5 (11040 ratings)

Description:This edited volume brings Ahn Byung-Mu’s minjung theology into dialogue with twenty-first-century readers. Ahn Byung-Mu was one of the pioneers of Korean minjung theology. The centerpiece of his minjung theology is focused on the Greek word ochlos, understood as the divested, marginalized, powerless people. Part 1 introduces readers to his life and theological legacy. Part 2 includes four important writings of Ahn Byung-Mu: “Jesus and Minjung in the Gospel of Mark,” “Minjung Theology in the Gospel of Mark,” “The Transmitters of Jesus Event Tradition,” and “Minjok, Minjung, and Church.” Part 3 contains a collection of articles from international scholars who evaluate and engage Ahn’s ochlos/minjung theology in their own fields and formulate critical readings of minjung theology. Responses include postcolonial, black theology, and feminist perspectives. “A fascinating collection exploring the roots and current relevance of Korean minjung (‘crowd’ or ‘masses’) theology’ as expressed by one of its founders and most prolific exponents, Ahn Byung-Mu. The writers engage a wide range of social locations, revealing both changed circumstances since Ahn’s pioneering work, and the ongoing importance of his work in our globalized, dominating empire. A great conversation to enter for both those already familiar with this indigenous Korean form of liberation theology and those looking to expand their listening to include voices often silenced.” —Wes Howard-Brook, Seattle University Yung Suk Kim is Assistant Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the School of Theology at Virginia Union University.
