Yung Suk Kim & Jin-Ho Kim 
Reading Minjung Theology in the Twenty-First Century [EPUB ebook] 
Selected Writings by Ahn Byung-Mu and Modern Critical Responses

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.
