Stirring up Deep Waters: Korean Feminist Theologies Today

Abstract

This article traces the history of Korean feminist theology, focusing on its recent developments since the 1980s. During this period Korean feminist theology has produced distinctive methodologies and actively engaged with social movements toward justice and democracy. In the past decade, however, Korean feminist theology has been criticized for its inertia. This article argues that today’s Korean feminist theology should be evaluated differently than in the past. Acknowledging considerable changes in Korean society, Korean feminist theology is coping with fresh challenges, making new waves, and generating new inspirations.
