제2종교개혁을 지향하는 민중신학 -서구 기독교의 억압, 착취, 폭력, 지구화를 넘어서는 민중신학

Abstract

1. Christianity is a religion of peace. Nevertheless, the Western Christian countries have degraded it as a religion of war, religion of plunder, and religion of suppression and exploitation through crusades, colonialism and globalization. 2. Christian religion is a religion for Minjung, Nevertheless, the Western Christian countries have made Christianity as a religion of the ruler, the elite, and the upper-class/caste. 3. Christianity is a religion for those who serve each other. Nevertheless, the Western Christian countries have made Christianity a religion for the one being served, a religion for the one who is the master and the ruler. 4. Christianity is a religion of love. Nevertheless, the Western Christian countries have made it as a religion of hatred. It is the very opposite of the image of Jesus which portrays love, peace and service, Jesus becoming a servant himself. And here stands the fundamental cause of the crisis of Christianity in the world today. Now, it is time to correct the perverted Christianity distorted by the Western Christian countries. We need reformation in Christianity, and we need the Second Reformation urgently. The non-western Churches and theologies have this mission of achieving the Second Reformation. Especially, mission loaded on theology is important. Non-Western theologies such as Minjung theology and Dalit theology should spearhead this mission.
