Reviving Minjung Theology in the Technological Era: Kim Yong-bok’s Seontopian Zoesophia in dialogue with Theo-Dao
View through CrossRef
This article explores into Kim Yong-bok’s final reflections on Minjung Theology in dialogue with Theo-Dao, a theology of Dao. Kim’s groundbreaking assertion that Minjung Theology is a sociobiography of Minjung broadens the cosmological Zoegraphy (the narrative of life) beyond historical constraints. It matures into a sapiential Zoesophia (Wisdom of Life), envisioning a Seontopia (East Asian Utopia). Minjung Theology prompts preparation for the impending ultra-technological civilization, characterized by the burgeoning evolution of artificial intelligence, marking a stride toward the future. Kim’s profound insights into Seontopian Zoesophia could serve as foundational pillars for the revival of Minjung Theology in the Anthropocene era of technological civilization. Furthermore, it extends an invitation to future theologians and scholars of religion to perpetuate this line of inquiry.
