- Title
The Problem of Poverty in Post-War Korean Christianity: Kibock Sinang or Minjung Theology?
- Authors
Kim, Sebastian C. H.
- Abstract
The article focuses on Kibock Sinang and Minjung theology and its relation to the problem of poverty in post-war Korean Christianity. Kibock sinang or seeking blessings believes that poverty is a curse and the result of wrong actions toward God. The minjung movement started when a man set himself on fire in November 1970 in protest against the exploitation of factory workers, thus calling it a protest theology. The two approaches are the result of the search for an answer to a particular problem, time and place.
