ABSTRACT

The aim of this paper is to explore theologically normative issues about human agape such as continuity and discontinuity between God’s love and our love and discussion of human love in eschatological terms, hoping that such exploration contributes to enriching theological and ethical discussions of these issues in Korea. To do this, I will take three theological camps or figures, namely minjung theology, Barth, and Moltmann. My task in this paper is three-fold. First, I will investigate christology, soteriology (or doctrine of creation) and eschatology of these three theological camps, with special attention to their theological implications for two major inquiries: 1) differences and points of correspondence in identity as well as in the kind and scope of activity for salvation between Jesus Christ and ourselves, or God’s love and human love; and 2) eschatological understanding of human agape. Second, based on this theological investigation, I attempt to extrapolate some ethical implications which illumine the issues regarding the nature of human love mentioned above. Lastly, I will compare these three camps, highlighting similarities and differences among the three.
