Suffering, Change, and Marginality: Postmodern Implications of Jung Young Lee's Theology - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Korean American theologian, Jung Young Lee constructed a theology based on an East Asian worldview represented by the Book of Changes. His theology is deconstructive in his critique on the foundation of Western theologies, revisionist by proposing a paradigm-shift for doing theology, and autobiographical in his theological method. These features show postmodernity which embraces and goes toward otherness. He counters the Western theological focus on impassibility, immutability, and centerality by giving priority to suffering, change, and marginality. Lee's theology is his spiritual journey to rediscover the harmony and depth of Asian culture and spirituality and intellectual quest to reformulate Christian thinking in the context of postmodernity and World Christianity. His theology is a construction in a deconstructive age, developed in a systematic fashion. This book uses Lee's theology as the catalyst to project a cosmological and ecological vision for theological construction, which is open-ended, eschatological, and ecumenical.
