초록
The necessity of contextualizing the Gospel is not debatable since there is no culture-free theology. Contextual study, however, is intricate and complicated so that it is not simply to be constructive for the church. In Korean scholarship, evangelical scholars have been reluctant to explore contextual studies due to a fear of syncretism and an uncritical adherence to church tradition. On the other hand, since the 1960s, liberal theologians have constructed theologies around more Korean situations. However, their biblical legitimacy and usefulness for the church are highly questionable. Among liberal theologians, Jung Young Lee’s contextual study of the doctrine of God is especially noteworthy as Lee explores a Korean theology more relevant to the mind (world view) of Koreans and contextualizes the core doctrine of the Trinity for Korean churches (and himself). This study explored Lee’s doctrine of God. His contextual studies pave the way for further Asian contextual studies. Theology should not be separated from one’s life and context. It should be sensitive to the church’s situation. Lee’s autobiographical theology reveals his theological integrity. However, his emphasis on experience over Scripture has led him to syncretism; thus, his context overrides scriptural teachings. His instrumental epistemology on reality and neo-orthodox views do not save him. Rather, they give him theological justification.
Abstract
The necessity of contextualizing the Gospel is not debatable since there is no culture-free theology. Contextual study, however, is intricate and complicated so that it is not simply to be constructive for the church. In Korean scholarship, evangelical scholars have been reluctant to explore contextual studies due to a fear of syncretism and an uncritical adherence to church tradition. On the other hand, since the 1960s, liberal theologians have constructed theologies around more Korean situations. However, their biblical legitimacy and usefulness for the church are highly questionable. Among liberal theologians, Jung Young Lee’s contextual study of the doctrine of God is especially noteworthy as Lee explores a Korean theology more relevant to the mind (world view) of Koreans and contextualizes the core doctrine of the Trinity for Korean churches (and himself). This study explored Lee’s doctrine of God. His contextual studies pave the way for further Asian contextual studies. Theology should not be separated from one’s life and context. It should be sensitive to the church’s situation. Lee’s autobiographical theology reveals his theological integrity. However, his emphasis on experience over Scripture has led him to syncretism; thus, his context overrides scriptural teachings. His instrumental epistemology on reality and neo-orthodox views do not save him. Rather, they give him theological justification.
