The Advent of a Three-Body Problem
The phrase, “political theology,” has been understood in at least three ways: to describe the political implications of various theologies, to describe a theology of politics, and to describe the theological language that funds modern secular political systems. This paper explores the way generative artificial intelligence intersects with each of those understandings, especially noting the impact of AI on actual physical and corporate bodies. It …
Border-Crossing Being
This article offers a theological reflection on the imago Dei in light of the lived experiences of migrants and then reconstructs theological anthropology in an age of migration. This article critically examines the groundbreaking works of Peter C. Phan and Daniel G. Goody in the intersection of migration and theology. Their theological understanding of God, specifically the imago Dei, centers on the incarnation as a gratuitous self-giving event …
Cultivating Virtuous Imagination Among Asian American Dreamers in the Face of Violent Uncertainty
By examining the stories of Asian American Dreamers, or Asian American young adults with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, this essay investigates how these undocumented young adults cultivate virtuous imagination to transcend the violence of uncertainty and radically imagine new paths toward flourishing. The aversive state of structural uncertainty leads them to experience narrative foreclosure and the violent disruption of t…
To what extent were life expectancy gains in South Africa attributable to declines in HIV/Aids mortality from 2006 to 2017? A life table analysis of age-specific mortality
In South Africa, life expectancy increased considerably after the government introduced its antiretroviral therapy (ART) program in 2004. The impact of the national ART program on life expectancy may be underestimated if child mortality is not accounted fo
Our Tongue-Cut God, Respond to Us ”
This article offers a theological reflection on prayer of anger and lament as a formative source for the oppressed in constructing and embodying their own theology. For this purpose, particular attention is paid to Kim Heunggyum’s scandalous prayer-song “The Father of Minjung,” which was widely sung by Korean minjung amid their political resistance against the authoritarian regimes in the 1980s. This article historically traces this prayer-song’s…
Christian Pacifism for an Environmental Age by Mark Douglas
Mama, Keep Walking for Peace and Justice
Focusing on the understudied area of women, religion, and peacebuilding, this essay offers the case study of Liberian mothers' actions in the interreligious peace movement to address multiple forms of violence in the midst and aftermath of Liberian civil wars. This essay examines three forms of gender violence and their impact on the lives of Liberian women: (1) sexual violence, (2) forced mobilization of child soldiers, and (3) structural povert…
From Demonic Faith to Redemptive Faith
This paper aims to examine the ambiguity of faith in the intersection of religion and state violence. I pay attention to the state-operated system of apartheid in South Africa and critically analyze the Afrikaner community's faith that motivated and justified vicious state violence against people of color. I name this faith demonic faith and present two key features of demonic faith in the South African case: idolatrous absolutization and destruc…
Reimagining Anger in Christian Traditions
This paper aims to reimagine anger, which has been traditionally understood as one of the capital vices in Christian traditions, as a moral virtue of the oppressed in their resistance against structural injustice. This essay first examines the contemporary discussions on anger in the field of Christian ethics. Then, I critically evaluate Lisa Tessman's account of "burdened virtues" and argue for a possibility that anger can be constructive in con…
