영문 초록

Much has been reflected upon and written by theologians during the second half of the last century upon the theme Justice, Peace and Life. But invariably the focus of almost all of them had been on Peace rather than on Justice, perhaps because of the two devastating Wars that had wrecked the world, and also because of the ensuing ethno-national conflicts that engulfed the entire globe and kept us constantly on the brink of a possibility of yet another fierce war. However, the theme of The integrity of Creation had also been brought in by some as part of their reflections, but this perhaps was effected more because of various development projects owned by the dominant world, rather than for any other concern. One thing that catches the attention is the fact that very little attention is given in all these reflections to the question of Justice, and consequently to the concerns of the vast majority of the oppressed communities all over the world. Dalits of my country and Minjungs of Korea - about whom we shall discuss in this paper - are part of these communities.
