Can this Korean women’s theology be a Christian theology with these two norms: liberation (Han-pu-ri) and life giving power? Surely it can because we Korean women believe in good news (gospel), not bad news. For us, the gospel of Jesus means liberation (Han-pu-ri) and life-giving power. In that sense, we are Christians. WHere there is genuine experience of liberation (Han-pu-ri) and life-giving power, we meet our God, Christ, and the power of the Spirit. That is Good News. We Korean Christian women define our Christian identity according to our lived inherited experience which stretches five thousand years back, even beyond the birth of Jesus.”"Han-pu-ri": Doing Theology from Korean Women's Perspective Chung Hyun Kyung Dr. Hyun Kyung Chung is Professor of Ecumenical Theology at Union Theological Seminary in New York City
